October 17th is World Singing Day and Cumberlandia’s Community Choir – Sing Owt!’s 20th Birthday! Join us for the day in a celebration of vocal harmony at Jennings Brewery, Cockermouth.
Each year on the 3rd Saturday in October, people all over the world gather in groups of all sizes in schools, pubs, parks, plazas and homes to sing and celebrate our common humanity. People of all ages, backgrounds and singing abilities can join in and sing.
That includes you!
