Tips from Douglas on how to get to St Giles Church

St Giles’ Church is not accessible from the main road up Gilesgate – you need to take the narrow lane to the left of the main Gilesgate road on the way up the hill (also called Gilesgate).

The easiest way to drive there is take A690 into Durham, at the Gilesgate roundabout take St Hild’s Lane (signposted Hild and Bede College) – this is the second turning from the A690, then turn left immediately up the lane. The church is on the left where the hill levels out. It is set back from the road but the war memorial is next to the lane. There is also on street parking nearby (no charge).

Longfram 9 Lessons & Carols - Weds 18th December @ 7:30pm

Hi All

Please send me an email (steven.buckley@talk21.com) if you are able to once again supplement my little choir with your fantastic singing!

It'll be the same deal as previous years - 4 straightforward choir pieces, the rest are standard carols (with descants if we have enough sops), then down the road to the Angler's Arms for a post service drink.

I'll send the music out ASAP.

As you're all so competent, only one rehearsal required and a warm-up on the night. No big deal if you can't make the rehearsal, so long as you can take a look at the music before the service and make the warm-up. Dates and times to follow:

Thanks!

Steve
