Radio Oxford's invitation to add a new venue to the growing list and help the
bid to beat the record.

Oxfordshire as the whole county comes together.

first-come, first-served basis to those who register their interest on the
bbc.co.uk/oxford.

manner of locations.

The Anchor Inn, Hayfield Road
Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre
Oxford Adventist Church, Chester Street, off Iffley Road
Thames View Road, Rosehill

For everyone involved, the Big Christmas Carol will
be the perfect way to start the Christmas festivities, at what is likely to be the
country's biggest carol concert.
Μύ
Carol singers can visit bbc.co.uk/oxford and download a flyer and poster to help
publicise their contribution to the concert, along with an order of service complete
with the words to all the carols.
