During the Christmas period, there is plenty to do in our villages, especially when it comes to carols! There are various Christmas concerts, festivals and other musical events, perfect to get you in the festive mood.
The Hoornder church hosts 2 Christmas concerts, namely the Haarlem singing collective Barbers and Bischop and the Music Society D.E.K.
