Wells Community Day
Priddy Singers is a lively community choir of around 60 men and women who come from across the Mendips and beyond to sing and perform together. Under the direction of our conductor Katrine, we enjoy uplifting weekly sessions learning new music and singing old classics. We meet on Tuesday evenings, from 8-9.30pm at Priddy Village Hall, and warmly welcome new members. The aim of our choir is to have fun, grow in confidence, and get to know good songs from the inside out. We work hard and have lots of fun doing it!

Sing2breathe is a small charity offering fun, sociable singing sessions designed to help people with lung conditions breathe more easily. We’re not a choir, but through gentle physical warm‑ups, breathing and vocal exercises, and uplifting songs, participants learn to manage their breathlessness more efficiently, improve posture, , and ease anxiety. Our sessions are mood boosting, reduce feelings of isolation, and help with inhaler use and breathlessness management. Our Wells group (also groups in Cheddar, Bridgwater and Yeovil) meets Thursday afternoons 2.15-3.30pm at St Andrews, Priory Medical Park. Contact Kate 07595 745884 or email sing2breathe2@gmail.com to book a place.
