Christmas Concert

Sunday, 6 December 2026, at 7.00 pm in the Holland Park Orangery

We are delighted that Douglas Somers-Lee will entertain us with his Ariel Consort of London once again. He has sung in our annual concert for many years and understands what we like. 

Our concert is different to others held during the festive season and regulars say it is better because the mix of music is more varied. We can be sure of the joyous voices of the choir ringing out in the beautiful Orangery, lively readings and some carols for all to sing.

Whether you are a regular, or haven’t been before, do please book your tickets for a highly enjoyable evening. After the concert, guests can enjoy a glass or two of mulled wine and tasty seasonal treats. 

Tickets, at £27, can be ordered on our website HERE.
