THE annual Carols by Candlelight for Variety in picturesque Langley Park will be free again this year.

With the singing to be led by Australian Idol contestant and platinum album seller Damien Leith, it’ll be huge evening with Harrison Craig, Georgia Caceres, Susie Mathers, Chris and Courtney Murphy and the Variety Youth Choir also on the bill.

Food stalls and kids activities such as face painting will kick off at 3pm and there’ll be a Peppa Pig show at 4.30pm, while the ferris wheel and teacup ride will be available all afternoon. Then, of course, the carols kick off at 6.50pm and the spectacular fireworks display brings it to a big close at 9pm.

Variety WA general manager Phil Croot says he’s thrilled to be offering the 73-year-old event for free again.

“As always, I am most looking forward to seeing all the kids singing along and enjoying a real family event, which is of course also raising funds to help empower WA kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to live, laugh and learn,” Mr Croot said.
