Penistone Ladies Choir was formed in 1986 in the market town of Penistone, on the south-eastern edge of the Pennines in South Yorkshire.
Under the leadership of our Musical Director, Jane Hobson, we have grown rapidly over the past year to over 40 members. We enjoy singing a wide repertoire of songs from classical, religious, folk and contemporary styles, all ably accompanied by Yvonne Woffenden, the Choir’s accompanist of many years.
We rehearse every Monday evening from 7.45 pm to 9.45 pm at St John’s Community Centre, Penistone. We enjoy a busy schedule of rehearsals, concerts, fundraisers, with the occasional competition and trip away. If you’d like to sing with us, come along on any Monday evening to join in or just listen.
Our thanks as always to our ever-enthusiastic musical director, Jane Hobson, and our superbly talented accompanist, Yvonne Woffenden for their never ending committment… Thanks also to the stiff opposition for making us work so hard!
Come and sing with us!
Lets get social
Super turnout for our first car park rehearsal last night - first time back singing all together…![]()
Unfortunately the midges came out in force too towards the end - insect spray at the ready next time… Fab to be back together!
Our first rehearsal with all the choir together this coming Monday - I know we’ve warmed up in a car park before but a full #rehearsal in a car park is a new one for us! 🤞for good weather! ![]()

Apparently the "debate" around choirs is going on Jeremy Vine radio 2 today - think circa 1:30…might be worth a listen…
South Yorkshire Community Foundation gave us a grant recently to help us get back on our feet after Covid. They are now conducting a piece of research called Vital Signs, where they want to identify what the priority need areas are in South Yorkshire so they can provide targeted, interventionist funding. They are keen to ensure they hear all voices in the community and so if anyone in the area can help by filling in the survey and sharing with friends, colleagues etc it would be great. Here is a link to the survey which takes about 10 minutes![]()

Our first rehearsal in 15 months…socially distanced - all 2m apart, in new larger venue, visors, only 6 singers - altos this week…but it’s a great start & it hopefully won’t be long before we can all rehearse together again. ![]()
Yay! We’re on our way back…
Car park singing! The choir came back in force for the first rehearsal together. Even the hazards of midges & wind didn’t deter!
