Come and join us and make some festive noise!
We will be singing and playing our way through the streets of Southwark, bringing some merry cheer and light as the nights draw in. Your voice and instruments are very welcome!
Winter encompasses many festivals, past and present, and we will focus on their origins and symbolism: Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, the Winter Solstice, and the creation of modern Christmas. Learn about St Nicholas, the tradition of the Pantomime, the history of carollers – and much more!
