THEY are used to the big stage but last week Winchester actors and actresses took to the city’s streets to sing their hearts out.

Winchester Musicals and Opera Society members entertained shoppers at the cathedral’s Christmas Market on Thursday, December 11, and Saturday, December 13, despite the wind and rain.

Under the guidance of Peter Theobald and Katie Hickson they sang a variety of carols and Christmas songs, from old favourites to less-known pieces.

The society recently celebrated a successful production of Oh What a Lovely War, and on January 11 there will be auditions for their next show, The Witches of Eastwick.
