Sing a Rainbow brings NHS Nightingales and Gurnard Community Choir to St Mary's Church, Cowes for a Friday night of bright pop classics with a clear local purpose. The source listing bills it as a colourful collection, moving from Lady in Red to Big Yellow Taxi and Fields of Gold, so expect familiar songs with a choir-night lift. Profits support a new sensory space in St Mary's children's A&E, giving the evening a practical island cause as well as a singalong pull.

The church setting matters here. St Mary's gives the voices a warm room on Church Road, close enough to Cowes for an early supper or a walk back through town afterwards. If you like community choirs, charity concerts and island music events that do not ask you to decode a programme note, this is an easy one to put in the diary.

Book ahead if you want the tidy version of the evening. The ticket site says a limited number of tickets may be available on the door, but a Friday concert for a hospital cause can fill from family networks and choir friends before the weekend starts. The four-person ticket option also suits a group who want to make a proper Cowes evening of it.
