The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Church Window Mask

Thur 28 Nov 7.30pm

Venetia and Barbara’s Christmas cabaret promises an evening packed with Christmas jazz classics and skits that will leave you both uplifted and in stitches.

  • St James’s aspires to be a place where all can belong, and where every person’s gifts and identities are welcome and celebrated. We are working to improve the experience at St James’s in the church building and the online community. We have step-free access from the courtyard to the church, and a toilet for disabled people. The courtyard and Redemption Roasters coffee shop are wheelchair accessible. If you have special access requirements (e.g. wheelchair users) please contact concerts@sjp.org.uk

  • Following last year’s packed out debut of “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” at the Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club, Venetia and Barbara are bringing the Christmas cabaret to St James’s Church Piccadilly in aid of the ‘Christmas for All’ Campaign.

    This pairing, with serious vocal skills, will bring you an evening full of skits, Christmas jazz classics, that will leave you uplifted and your sides hurting.

    In classic cabaret style, you will be treated to an evening of your favourite Christmas songs backed by a fabulous jazz trio, as well as a few surprises along the way. This is a night you won’t want to miss out on for your Christmas diaries!

     

    Let’s make Christmas Special for All

    At Christmas time, we often use words like ‘home’ and ‘family’. Many will gather to celebrate and be together. But for many people today, such connection and security feels out of reach, and comfort feels far away.

    Please support the work of St James’s, and help us help others who won’t expect to experience love and joy in this festive season. Your donation, whatever you can afford, will help to bring hope into the lives of others this Christmas.
