West End Stars Set for Christmas Carol Concert in Support of Sir Simon Milton Foundation

Stars of the London stage will come together on Friday 20 December, 4-5pm for carol singing and festive merry-making in support of this year's Lord Mayor of Westminster's charity, the Sir Simon Milton Foundation, which works to tackle unemployment, support young people and look after the elderly in the borough.

The public is invited to join in the fun and sing along with famous faces from top West End shows at this unique event, organised by the Society of London Theatre, which will take place outside the Leicester Square TKTS booth in the heart of London's Theatreland.

The carol singing will be led by the West End Gospel Choir, a London-based collective of musical theatre professionals, who will perform a selection of festive songs. Seasonal refreshments will also be on offer to ward off the winter chill.

As well as collection buckets circulating on the day, £1 from every discounted ticket sold over the weekend at TKTS will go to this year's chosen charity.

The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Sarah Richardson, said: "As we approach 25 December, nothing epitomises the spirit of Christmas more than people singing carols together, and this event provides a wonderful opportunity for Londoners and visitors alike to raise their voices alongside some of the stars of the West End. I would like to thank the Society of London Theatre for their generosity in organising this event to raise funds for the Sir Simon Milton Foundation - a charity I am proud to support."
