🎶 Popchoir at St Mildred’s 🎶

We’re thrilled to be part of this year’s Food and Music Festival after 16 wonderful years of rehearsing at St Mildred’s on Monday evenings.

Founded in 2009 by professional singer Helen Hampton, Popchoir brings together non-audition adult singers across multiple locations to perform feel-good pop classics—from ABBA to Adele, Prince to Bruno Mars, and everything in between!

We’ve had the joy of performing at iconic venues and events including Central Hall Westminster, Comic Relief, Sport Relief, the Regent Street Lights switch-on, and Trafalgar Square at Christmas. We’ve also appeared on TV and even performed alongside artists like Barry Manilow and Josh Groban.

At the heart of it all is our “triple win”: performing together, sharing joy with audiences, and raising thousands for charity every year.

We can’t wait to bring our Popchoir energy and feel-good songs to the festival—see you there!
