Although it is a festive tradition that is diminishing year-on-year, the Government has confirmed that  you  CAN go carol singing this Christmas – but need to stand 2 metres from the front door.

According to guidance issued today (Sunday), carol singing (carol services) can take place if all attendees follow the advice in the suggested principles of safer singing. This includes limiting the length of time singing, limiting the number of people singing and the consideration of wearing a face covering. The rules apply to both professionals and amateurs.

Door-to-door carol singing can take place in a group(s) of no more than 6 participants. If there are more than 6 people in total, each ‘group’ must not interact, ‘mingle’ or otherwise socialise.
