Pinney Talfourd Christmas Concert

As the festive holiday season approaches, Pinney Talfourd is delighted to announce the return of the annual ‘Christmas Carols at the Queen’s’ charity concert.

This heartwarming event will spread joy amongst the community and raise vital funds for two very deserving charities – Parkinsons UK, Pinney Talfourd’s 2023/24 charity of the year, and the Queen’s Theatre Charitable Trust.

The concert will take place on Monday 4th December at 11 am at the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch and promises to be an unforgettable event of music, festive cheer and goodwill to all involved.

Leading the concert will be the Hornchurch Can’t Sing Choir accompanied by the children from Benhurst Primary School with appearances also from the Pinney Talfourd choir.

The charity Christmas concert has become a cherished tradition, bringing together the local community in the spirit of giving and celebration.

Spamalot

SPAMALOT retells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail.

The 2005 Broadway production was nominated for fourteen Tony® Awards of which it won three including Best Musical and was followed by two successful West End runs.

Inspired by the classic comedy film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, SPAMALOT features shenanigans including a chorus line of dancing divas, legless knights, men in tights, killer rabbits and a flatulent Frenchman.

Throughout the show Arthur, travelling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight and the Knights who say Ni.

“Spamalot” is presented through special arrangement with and all authorised performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW). www.theatricalrights.co.uk

New Dawn Chorus

New Dawn Chorus is a local Community Choir that was only formed this year, and entertains at Friendship Clubs, Care Homes, and Day Centres, offering a wide range of songs, that will get your toes a-tapping! We raise money for Saint Francis Hospice, and other local charities.

Following our first performance at Queen’s in June, we were thrilled by the wonderful comments, and standing ovation, by the audience, and that all tickets were snapped up, 3 weeks before our highly successful show.

Although our members are mature, they are young at heart and love singing and bringing a smile to the faces of our audiences, who are actively encouraged to join in.

As before, this concert will include songs from the 60s, some from Musicals, and exciting Medleys, and you will be taken on a nostalgic journey down Memory Lane.

The Toy Factory

The Habbit Factory’s children’s company shares the story of BITS, an old toy shop that has been run by Bert Ives and his family since 1966.

However, with screens and devices taking over children’s lives, the future of BITS is at risk. As Bert’s family has moved on, he is left to save the shop alone. When his daughter Joanne visits with her children, will they rediscover the joy of traditional toys and help save the shop?

This heart-warming tale of family, nostalgia, and the power of imagination reminds us of the importance of preserving cherished traditions and the simple pleasures of childhood.
