Chester Heritage Festival launch

We loved being part of the launch of Chester Heritage Festival. It was amazing to see so many people coming together to celebrate the rich history and vibrant culture of our city. There was a fantastic atmosphere and the sun shone.
Switzerland tour!
At the beginning of May we spent a wonderful long weekend in St. Gallen and Appenzell, singing with the amazing Unichor St. Gallen University choir, bringing Handbag sparkle as Switzerland prepared to host this year’s Eurovision Song Contest a short distance away in Basel on 17 May. It was a joy to sing together and share such special moments, creating memories we’ll cherish forever.
Chester Duck Race
5 April
Look who paddled in Chester Duck Race! Our duck, Mavis, was decorated and bedazzled by our wonderfully talented choir member, Alison Pitt.
However, naughty Mavis tried to cheat – needless to say she didn't win!

International Women’s Day

We had a wonderful time celebrating our 25th anniversary, and as we shared it with International Women’s Day we decided to help raise some money for the amazing charity Tomorrow’s Women Chester.
Many thanks to those who donated on this warm sunny day in the city centre.
