In the summer of 2002, Pakefield Youth put on a production of Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. There was a call for singers to support this production and a number of ladies came forward to help, prepared by Vetta Wise who had just arrived from South Africa. After this production, they decided to stay together under the musical directorship of Vetta. By Christmas 2002, the group had swelled to 20 and after Christmas, decided to invite men to join. Thus the Pakefield Singers as we now know it was born.

At the end of 2005 a section of Pakefield Singers collaborated with parts of the Beccles and the Lowestoft Choral Societies at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Christmas Concert at the Marina Theatre, Lowestoft. We had to do this as there isn't enough room on the Marina Theatre stage for 200 singers and the orchestra!
In May 2006 the whole of Pakefield Singers joined forces with the full Beccles Choral Society in a performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in its original accompaniment of 2 pianos and percussion at the world-renowned Snape Maltings Concert Hall. This work is usually performed with an orchestra, and the original score was orchestrated for the first performance of Carmina in Frankfurt in 1937.
