Concert Information

Charles Dickens did more than any other to shape the traditions of modern Christmas.

Actor Simon Callow, who has written about and portrayed Dickens extensively, joins the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers for a very special performance, celebrating Charles Dickens and his association with Christmas. Interspersed with carols of the time sung by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers, Simon Callow plays Dickens reminiscing about Christmas through his eyes as an author, husband and father. There will be a chance to join in with festive favourites such as O Come All Ye Faithful and God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen.

From the splendour of St Luke’s Chelsea (the church in which Charles Dickens married) join Simon Callow, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers and conductor Ben Palmer for carols, readings, mulled wine and mince pies – the perfect start to Christmas.

All tickets include a complimentary glass of mulled wine, or soft drink, and a mince pie to be enjoyed after the concert.

Concert curated by Simon Callow and Jonathan Manners.

Unreserved seating. Please note that some seats may have a restricted view.
