Craig-M Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Any advice as to where is the best place to go to for pub carols? We are new to the city but have heard of the tradition and would like to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Which part of town? Cross Scythes in Norton is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig-M Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Which part of town? Cross Scythes in Norton is good. North side of town preferably but I don't really mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I can think of two: Rivelin Hotel down in Rivelin and the Princess Royal at Dungworth (admittedly not quite in Sheffield). I reckon the best thing to do would be Google the pub's names and see if anything comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1948 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Traditional carol singing has already started in Travellers Rest, Oughtibridge on Saturday nights and Blue Ball at Worrall on Sunday lunchtimes, recommend both these pubs, there will also be carol singing at the Wharncliffe Arms and the Blue Ball at Wharncliffe Side over the Christmas period, check with these pubs for dates. If you are new to the area I am certain you will get a warm welcome and enjoy the singing at any of these pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrisminor Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 this is the best calendar for 2013 http://www.localcarols.org.uk/sings.php http://www.villagecarols.org.uk/ also has lots of information, you can buy a CD, books etc. The Royal Hotel (not the Princess Royal) in Dungworth also sells song books; other pubs may well do the same.

Ale House Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We have traditional Yorkshire folk carols every Thursday between now and the end of the year (including Boxing Day). The singing starts at 7.30pm,and,as one of Sheffield's very few genuine free-houses have rather a good selection of real ales on offer as well as home made mulled wine. If you know the tune to Ilkley Moor Bah Tat you should be ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
