The owner of Thorpdale's Travellers Rest Hotel is bringing a British pub culture to the small community with a pop-up choir night.
Community members have embraced the concept, putting their singing skills on display at the choir nights that are open to people of all singing abilities.
The TRH pop-up choir is a free monthly event designed to bring people together to share a song.
TRH owner Jill Jepson said the idea of the choir was partly inspired by her time living in England and experiencing the British pub scene.

"When I was in England, there was always music in the pub," she said.<
