London Mozart Players will perform ''Christmas in Putney' - on Friday 16 December at All Saints Church at 7pm with a programme including carols and wintery songs.

You can buy your tickets online or turn up at the door - the more the merrier! Tickets cost £19 or £11 for those aged 30 or lower and under 16s get in for £6.

On Saturday 17 December the Dover House Singers will be performing its Christmas concert in aid of ReGenerate Rise at St. Mary’s Church on Putney High Street SW15 1SN from 7pm.

Janis Humberstone of the Dover House singers says, “As always, there will be a varied repertoire including seasonal favourites such as Silent Night, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Amid the Winter’s Snow. Plus, they’ll be some singing for everyone to join in with!

“The choir will be led by our wonderful Musical Director, Carl Speck and as we all need a bit of joy just now, take a little time out and come along to this delightful event. We know that a good time will be had by all."

The Mayor of Wandsworth has accepted an invitation to attend.

Entrance is free and the choir will be providing refreshments and its (now legendary) hamper raffle, to raise funds for Regenerate-RISE.

On Sunday 18 December there will be Christmas Carol Service at both St Mary's and All Saints’, 7pm which is later than usual because of the World Cup final.

An ‘Elves’ family Christmas show is taking place at Alton Activity Centre and Lennox Community Clubroom on Tuesday 20 December at 2pm. No booking is required for this production by Jellyfish Theatre which promises a joyful, interactive family theatre show combining puppetry, live performers.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
