Carols for All — The Animals

Step into the stable with John Rutter’s charming Donkey Carol, Kirkpatrick’s beloved Away in a Manger, and audience participation in The Twelve Days of Christmas. With Little Donkey sung together and our exuberant Christmas Megamix rounding things off, this programme celebrates the creatures who shared the first Christmas night with festive fun for all.

Expect a warm welcome, festive favourites, thoughtful reflections and plenty of opportunities to sing along, from much-loved traditional carols to our ever-popular Christmas Megamix featuring hits like All I Want for Christmas and Fairytale of New York. With the glorious voices of our Music Scholars and the brilliance of our brass players, these concerts promise fun, festivity, and Christmas cheer for all ages.

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.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
