The audience was treated to harmonious singing from both the Sussex West County Guide Choir and the Friendship Singers.
The Littlehampton Concert Band accompanied the Christmas carols and performed an enchanting selection of festive music, to the delight of everyone present.
Councillor Andy Cooper assumed the role of compère for the evening and there was a special contribution from vice-chairman Jamie Bennett.

There was also an auction, which raised an additional £575 for the charity.
Chairman Alison Cooper said the concert had, once again, been an overwhelmingly successful event, not only for the audience, but for the performers, too.
She expressed her sincere appreciation, on behalf of not only the council but also herself, to all of the performers and those responsible for organising the event.
