The celebrated London Community Gospel Choir has chosen Gorsley as the place to celebrate its 21st birthday.

The choir will be one of the highlights at the Wye Valley Christian Festival, which will takes place in a big top at Gorsley Chapel from August 21 to 25.

A 650-strong audience is expected.

The minister, Rev John Lewis, said: "We're thrilled that a Christian choir with a growing international reputation has agreed to sing at Gorsley. Formed 21 years ago, the choir is now singing before royalty and sell-out venues all over the world."

A flower show will also be held as part of the festival. Last year it attracted 5,000 visitors.

Mr Lewis said: "Our summer bank holiday rural rendezvous is now one of the UK's most enjoyable and challenging Christian festivals."
