Whitstable Choral Society is a welcoming and inclusive choir performing a wide range of choral music at various venues around the Whitstable, Herne Bay and Canterbury district.
We rehearse each Tuesday evening from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at St. Johns Methodist Church, Argyle Road, Whitstable, CT5 1JS. We invite you to drop in if you are interested in singing with us. The emphasis is always on enjoying making music together in a supportive and friendly environment. Do not worry if you have not been singing for many years as our musical director will ensure that your confidence is quickly restored. You can always join us for 3 rehearsals free of charge, before deciding to apply for membership.
