Sing along this Saturday: Every stop on The Jingle Belles’ city carolling route
Dig deep when you hear your favourite Christmas tunes.
The Jingle Belles all-female choir will once again fill the city with festive carols this Saturday, December 20th as part of their annual fundraiser for Cork Penny Dinners.
From 11am on the last shopping Saturday before Christmas, the Belles will perform at various locations across Cork city centre, dressed in their signature white hats and scarves.
This choir first appeared in 2010 bringing music and goodwill to Cork. Last year alone, they raised nearly €12,000 for Cork Penny Dinners, a testament to the generosity of the community.
Here’s where you can catch them:

As a volunteer organisation, Cork Penny Dinners receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations and fundraising events. To boost this year’s efforts, Jingle Belle Patricia Shalloe has once again created beautiful Christmas cards featuring her painting of the choir, with all proceeds going to the charity.
The Belles will also perform with the St Luke’s Male Voice Choir on Tuesday, December 23rd at Live at St Luke’s Church, doors open at 4.45pm. Donations collected will benefit both Cork Penny Dinners and Marymount Hospice.
You can support the Belles with cash dnations on the street during live performances or donate online here.
