Local community school choir serenade retirees with a carol concert at Burley in Wharfedale's retirement community

Taking place at the McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development, Summer Manor, the merry get-together saw homeowners, relatives, friends and visitors enjoy a full schedule of festivities with mince pies and festive fizz, while the Burley Oaks Primary School Choir sang a selection of festive favourites and traditional carols to spark joy.

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager at McCarthy Stone, comments: “The Summer Manor Christmas party was a magical success! It was so lovely to see everyone get together and experience the true spirit of a McCarthy Stone Christmas, and the Burley Oaks Primary School choir were the perfect treat to top it all off.”
