Christmas cheer for patients at Noble's

Staff plan uplifting festive programme

Staff and volunteers at Noble's have laid on plenty of festive cheer for those facing Christmas in hospital this year.

A series of events for staff, patients, family and friends starts this afternoon with a carol service with children from St Thomas's primary school (9 Dec, 4pm).

In the run-up to Christmas, local musicians will perform live mini-concerts in the hospital foyer each lunchtime.

The programme starting next Friday (16 Dec) includes hand bell ringers, a pianist, string quartet, a capella signers and the government staff choir.   

The hospital's popular nativity scene is making its annual appearance - with a new stable this year to house the tableau.
