At the heart of the county of Somerset in Southwest England, Wells embodies all the charm and attraction one dreams of when imagining the English countryside. All accommodations will be at the elite private Sherborne School in the nearby town of Sherborne. Participating singers will be able to explore other nearby delights in Somerset, including the ancient Roman city of Bath. Choirs will also have the chance to spend time at Stonehenge en route to Somerset.
