Watch as band plays Christmas hymns in the street in Penarth

As we were walking round the town centre on the evening of December 12, festive tunes floated through the windy streets, so we pursued!

What we found? A group of singers singing in the street accompanied by a five piece band.

The impromptu performance was put on by 'Churches Together', with local churches from the area coming together to have a sing song and spread some festive cheer.

Classics were played such as 'Hark the Herald' on the corner of Glebe Street and Windsor Road.

And tomorrow, Thursday, December 14, the town will be transformed into a winter wonderland, with many independent businesses opening late for the ‘Christmas in Penarth’ spectacular.
