Join Dame Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS for the Annual Kids for Kids Candlelit Christmas Concert on Thursday 4th December 2025!
Our Candlelit Concert will be held at St Peter’s Church in Eaton Square, Belgravia, London. This is the perfect start to the Christmas season – Carols by Candlelight.
Tickets are now Sold Out! We look forward to seeing you there.

Dame Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS invites you to join Kids for Kids at this year’s Magical Candlelit Christmas Concert in Belgravia, London! This event is the perfect start to the Christmas Season, with every penny raised in profit providing emergency food and aid items to children in Darfur who face starvation because of the appalling violence that has been raging for over two years. Your presence at our concert will truly save lives!
The evening will feature the beautiful voices of the Junior and Senior Choirs of Queen’s Gate School singing your favourite Christmas Carols to get you in the holiday spirit! We are delighted to welcome British Opera Soprano Bibi Heal, accompanied by famous conductor/pianist Stephen Barlow along with renowned Irish Harpist Lesley Magee and world-class pianist Mitra Alice Tham. You will hear festive readings from our dear Patron, The Lord Cope of Berkeley PC, and the absolutely fabulous, Dame Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS. And of course what would a Christmas Concert be without a Trumpet Fanfare?! Thames Fanfare Brass will once again raise the roof and entertain us with Christmas classics. Hundreds of candles will fill the Church as we close the evening and head out to the cozy courtyard to enjoy Mulled Wine and Mince Pies (included in your ticket!).
We look forward to seeing you for the most magical start to the Festive Season! By attending the Kids for Kids Candlelit Christmas Concert with your family and friends you are helping transform the lives of children in remote villages of Darfur living in conditions of shocking deprivation. Clean water is not available – families drink surface water until it dries, when they then have to walk miles to find a handpump. There is virtually no health care, limited education, and now children face starvation in what the UN says is the ‘worst humanitarian crisis in the world today’, yet it is not in the news and no other organisation is helping. Children really need you, need us, right now.
The concert will begin at 7.00pm and will be followed by Mulled Wine & Mince Pies (included in your ticket).
Adult tickets are £39.50 (min donation) and Child tickets (12 years and under) are £18 (minimum donation)! The perfect way to start Christmas – Carols by Candlelight.
