St James’s aspires to be a place where all can belong, and where every person’s gifts and identities are welcome and celebrated.

The courtyard and Redemption Roasters coffee shop are wheelchair accessible.
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.
Christmas songs, tunes and carols likely to include:
O Come All Ye Faithful
Sussex Carol
In The Bleak Midwinter
How Far Is It To Bethlehem?
Silent Night
Sleigh Ride
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night
O Holy Night
Hark, The Herald Angels Sing!
All I Want For Christmas Is You
Sing along with our joyful Singing Scholars and first-class brass quintet!
Come and celebrate the hope and light that Christmas brings each winter
