🎄 The Sound Collective at Braxted Park – County Christmas Fair 🎶

Singers, get ready to perform at one of Essex’s most beautiful venues, Braxted Park, for the County Christmas Fair! This is such a fantastic opportunity for The Sound Collective to shine, share our music, and spread a little festive magic to a whole new audience.

Thanks to our wonderful Harmony Hosts for making this happen. They’re the reason you can take part in this event and enjoy everything it has to offer. When we realised that Abbey, Sarah, and I were all unavailable, Gosia and Helen heroically stepped in to make it possible — and because of them, we could proudly say yes to this invitation!

Now, just to be clear: Gosia and Helen are not stepping in as MDs and won’t be conducting from the front. Instead, they’ll be singing alongside you within the choir — positioned at opposite ends of the rows, with a clear line of sight to help coordinate the music and keep things flowing smoothly.

Please show them your full encouragement and support — but remember, it’s you who’ll carry the performance! Sing with passion, bring energy and engagement to the audience, and if there’s a little slip-up here or there, keep smiling and sing on. The magic of live performance is in your confidence, your joy, and your connection with the crowd.

Below, you’ll find the stage layout and order for how I’d like you to stand at Braxted Park (note: it’s slightly different from our usual setup). Also, please check out this page for everything else you need — travel details, parking info, meet-up points, performance times, song list, and dress code.

I’m so sorry I can’t be there with you at such a wonderful venue, but I’ll be cheering you on from afar. I can’t wait to see your photos, videos, and hear all about how it went. Go out there and do what you do best — sing your hearts out and spread festive cheer the Sound Collective way!

With love and pride, Emma x
