We are expanding our membership in all voice parts. We don’t formally audition new members, but it’s desirable that you have some understanding of musical notation. The ability to sight sing is not essential. Why not come along to one of our rehearsals and see how we get along?
Join us for our next concert
Do come along to try us out – you’ll be made very welcome, and music will be provided.
If you have any queries, or would like to chat to someone first, get in touch (see Contact) and we will respond.
I really enjoy singing with Forest – what a lovely friendly choir! (new member, Spring 2024)

Autumn term rehearsals will run from Monday 8 September to our concert on Thursday 18 December.
