Residents from Harrier House Care Home in Hucknall wowed judges and audiences alike at the Adept Christmas Choir Competition, held at St Catherine’s Church in Burbage.
The festive event brought together choirs from across Adept Care Homes for a joyful celebration of music and togetherness. Harrier House stood out by performing an original Christmas song written by residents and staff, earning them the award for Best Creative Choir.
Their voices rang out through the church, filling the space with warmth, confidence and seasonal cheer. With big smiles and festive sparkle, the choir’s performance captured the true joy of Christmas. Their unique performance was full of imagination, laughter and festive magic, making it one of the most memorable moments of the day.
“I never thought I’d help write and sing our own Christmas song — it felt magical,” said one resident proudly. The song was written by team and residents especially for their choir performance this year.
After the performances, residents enjoyed a traditional fish and chip lunch from Burbage Fisheries, before trophies were presented by Father Andrew and the Choir Master.
