THREE choirs and a brass band will be performing at Freeport Shopping Village.

Funky Voices, Show Choir and Vocal Reflections are taking part in the shopping centres annual carol celebration this Saturday.

A total of 170 voices will be singing for crowds of shoppers as they complete their gift shopping.

The hugely popular Colchester Brass Band will be backing up the singers of all three choirs.

Festivities kick off at noon and the choirs will serenade shoppers with Christmas classics until 4pm.

Josef O'Sullivan, Freeport's centre manager, said: "We’re putting on this fun and completely free entertainment to help our visitors ease into the spirit of the festivities and bring a smile as they shop for the perfect presents for friends and family.

"It’s also a great opportunity to take advantage of savings of up to 60% and more on designer and luxury brands in 85 stores. Add to that the fact that parking is free for up to 6 hours and you could say, Freeport has Christmas all wrapped up.”
