All ages and abilities are welcomed and will be supported by a full instrumental backing.
Those attending clinical or vulnerable settings will be asked to produce a negative LFT result before arrival, and those presenting covid symptoms should not attend.
Communications Officer for the Festival, Dave Wheeler, said: “I organised a small group of friends to go carolling in the hospital last year, which went down well with everyone involved.
“This year I thought – with Covid restrictions lifted and with the support of the rest of the GSF team – we could expand on this and run a series of carolling events around the island to involve as much of the community as possible.”

Guernsey Street Festival Founder, Claire Dawson, said the events would help to support both artists and the community.
“Christmas is so magical for so many, but for some it can be a lonely and challenging time of year. So when Dave suggested forming a series of carolling choirs to visit the hospital and local residen.al homes, the rest of the commiSee jumped at the chance,” she said.
“This is open to anyone that would like to join the GSF family and spread some much needed Christmas cheer.”
