The Painted Hall, Greenwich & Christmas Choir Concert in Chapel of St Peter & St Paul
Monday 8th December 2025
£75.00 Per Person
Enjoy a festive carol concert in the sublime surroundings of the neoclassical masterpiece Chapel of St Peter & St Paul. The concert will be performed by the award-winning Trinity Laban Choir, giving the audience the opportunity to join in some of their festive favourites.
The beautiful Chapel was part Sir Christopher Wren’s original design for the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich. After a devastating fire, the Chapel was rebuilt in 1779 by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart. With its richly decorated ceiling, naval themes, and exceptional altarpiece painted by ‘the Raphael of America’, Benjamin West, it is evident why the Chapel is now regarded as one of the finest neo-classical interiors in existence.

The Ragged School Museum & Borough Market
Friday 27th February 2026
£45.00 Per Person
The Ragged School Museum is housed in a group of three canalside buildings which once formed the largest “ragged” or free school in London.
When Thomas Barnardo came to London from his home city of Dublin in 1866, intending to train as a doctor and then become a missionary in China, he was confronted by a city where disease was rife, poverty and overcrowding endemic and educational opportunities for the poor were non-existent.
He watched helplessly as a cholera epidemic swept through the East End, leaving over 3,000 Londoners dead and many destitute.
He gave up his medical training to pursue his local missionary works and in 1867 opened his first “ragged school” where children could gain a free basic education.
Ten years later, Barnardo’s Copperfield Road Free School opened its doors to children and for the next thirty-one years educated tens of thousands of children. It closed in 1908 by which time enough government schools had opened in the area to serve the needs of local families.
Highclere Castle & Gardens
Sunday 23rd August 2026
£65.00 Per Person
Join us on this fascinating day out to Highclere Castle in Berkshire to visit the Castle and Gardens. Fans of period dramas will love this excursion to Downton Abbey’s Highclere Castle. This incredible Grade I listed building is waiting to share hundreds of years of history with you. The first written records of the estate date back to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester. Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park. Later on, in 1679, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon.
