KIRKWOOD Hospice fundraisers are counting down to Christmas with an annual concert.

The Countdown to Christmas event is at Huddersfield Town Hall on Saturday, December 4. It will feature Huddersfield Choral Society's Young Voices and Youth Choir and Hepworth Band.

"It's a lovely way to welcome the Christmas season," said Annabel Arkless, the Dalton hospice's fundraising manager.

The concert, which starts at 7.15pm, is organised by the hospice's Sunflower Support Group and sponsored by Wheawill and Sudworth accountants.

Tickets are available from Huddersfield's Tourist Information Centre in Albion Street.
