The band have organised the Christmas Eve Carols in Watlington since the mid 1970's.
This year the event was even bigger having been joined by the St. Leonards Bellringers and the first lantern parade.
A great success! - see the article from the Henley standard below:

A LANTERN parade took place for the first time before Watlington’s traditional Christmas Eve carols.
Residents and community groups had made the lanterns at workshops hosted by the Watlington artsHUB and Emily Cooling, of Creating Art, at the Methodist Church. For the parade, they lit their creations and then paraded through the town centre before gathering to sing with the Watlington Concert Band and Watlington Community Choir.
The evening began with bell ringing at St Leonard’s Church.
