Every year the East End’s Christmas is brightened by this magnificent festival of classical and traditional Christmas music in the beautiful Christ Church, Spitalfields. The magnificent interior has now been faithfully restored to the original Hawksmoor design, allowing the festival to return after two years away. New underfloor heating has also been installed allowing for longer concerts. It’s a wonderfully festive and community-spirited set of concerts, with great market shopping on hand right next door.
