MALVERN is playing host this weekend to a singing event touring throughout Britain.

Les Mis Big Sing UK is an event where anyone who wants to sing can take part in sing-along sessions, led by West End performers.

This year's Big Sing UK tour is focused on hit West-End show "Les Miserables" and follows the film adaptation which went on to win Oscar nominations.

Regardless of experience or ability, people can take part and learn the songs from the show during singing sessions, which will end with everyone joining together to perform a medley of songs.

A spokesman for Big SIng UK said: "Big Sing UK is a Fun Day and a great way to meet new like-minded people. And as an added bonus, not only does singing in a group make you feel good, there are positive health benefits too.

"Research found that when people sing in groups, their heartbeats synchronise, bringing about a calming effect that is as beneficial to our health as yoga."

Malvern will play host on Saturday, August 16, from 12pm until 6pm, and is suitable for anyone over the age of 16, for the price of £25 or £20 for concessions.

It is set to take place at St Matthias Church, in Church Road.
