TWO new choirs launching in SEPTEMBER 2026
This autumn sees new groups starting in East Bergholt on Monday evenings, 7.45-9.15pm at the Constable hall, and on Wednesday mornings you’ll find us, 10-11.30am at Burstall village hall. More details on the choirs page. Come for a taster session!
Welcome to the friendliest choir you’ve ever sung in!
Is 2026 the year for you to release your inner diva?
Singing’s good for you, and when you do it with Pop Chorus, it is good for other people too! It’s more popular than ever as people recognise its health benefits. And our choirs carry that good feeling into their local communities. What’s so good about singing?
Join Pop Chorus to sing great pop songs in glorious harmony, meet lovely people and support the local community. We’ve grown from humble beginnings of just 8 singers in 2012 to over 400 singers in 8 groups across Suffolk – plus hit the singles charts, performed at Latitude Festival, sold out our own Ipswich Regent Theatre shows, and raised thousands for local charities.
Whether you’ve sung before or not, you won’t need to audition, read music or have any experience to join Pop Chorus (and performing’s entirely up to you). Our three terms per year start in September, January and after easter, but new members are welcome any time, so why not come for a taster session and start something new this year?!
Alternatively, our Wellbeing Sessions absolutely welcome anyone who just wants to turn up and sing along.
We’re delighted to have partnered with Cancer Support Suffolk this year, to raise funds and awareness of their enormously important work in our local community.
Everybody
WELCOME
