About
Please note, due to bad weather forecasted, this event has been moved inside Swanwick Memorial Hall just across the road.
Join Holymoorside Brass Band in the garden at Revolution House for traditional festive carol singing.
Carols begin at 6.30pm and refreshments will be available at Swanwick Memorial Hall from 5.45pm.
It is advised that visitors bring a torch with them to the carol service as it will be dark when the performance takes place.
Revolution house will be open every Thursday to Sunday from Thursday 7 to Sunday 24 December, 11am to 3pm, for people to see the traditional Christmas displays of greenery and flower arrangements.
The House takes its name from the Revolution of 1688. More than 300 years ago this cottage was an alehouse - the 'Cock and Pynot' (pynot is a dialect word for magpie) - and it was here that three local noblemen: the Earl of Devonshire (from nearby Chatsworth), the Earl of Danby and Mr John D'Arcy, met to begin planning their part in events which led to the overthrow of King James II in favour of William and Mary of Orange.
Entry to the house and garden is free, however donations are welcomed to help us deliver more great events.
Please note that in the event of bad weather the concert will move into Swanwick Memorial Hall.
