Carols in the Courtyard: Show of Hands BSL choir

Join Show of Hands as they create a truly unique festive experience; a captivating blend of song and sign.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The award-winning Show of Hands Sign Language Choir was created in 2018 by Susie Martin, a BSL Level 6 Specialist Teaching Assistant for Hearing Impaired children.

This is a Choir who rather than use their voices to sing they use British Sign Language to interpret the lyrics of songs and tell a visual story.

The Choir has brought the local community together to promote Deaf Awareness, inclusivity and bring hearing and deaf communities together with a joint love of music.
