Somewhat different Christmas Carols!…

Despite the lockdown restrictions, Christmas carols took place in Castle Hill, in a very different way! Organised by Reverend Penny Marsh with Ebbsfleet Community Church, videos of the community’s hopes for 2021 along with carols were shared via a van with a big screen that moved around the village.
