Who's dreaming of a white Christmas?? ☃️❄️🎄

10/11/2023

Christmas is a time of giving; perhaps it’s a gift to a loved one; or the gift of magic to those who believe; and most importantly the gift of a helping hand to those who need it most.

Every year we welcome onboard the choir from St John the Evangelist for our Christmas Carols on the River. We take this opportunity to give back to the local community, and this year we have chose Tom’s Trust, a charitable organisation which is dedicated to providing support for children with brain tumours and their families.

100% of ticket sales will be donated to If you can’t attend but would like to support this cause, there are several ways in which you can help. We have started a fundraiser (a link is in our bio) with the hope of raising a further £1000 in the next 30 days. Any amount no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated and would help support Tom’s Trust enormously.

Tickets are on sale now!
