The Anglo-Danish Society Centenary Gala Dinner

Dec 6, 2024

From The Anglo-Danish Society:

Centenary Gala Dinner at Drapers’ Hall
on Friday, 6 December 2024 from 6pm – 11pm

We’re very proud of our heritage and the impact that our Society has had on our community during the last 100 years and we intend to celebrate in style. Naturally, we’ll also be toasting the future success of our Society, including our Scholarship Programme, for many more years to come.

This significant milestone will be celebrated by means of a Centenary Gala Dinner at Drapers’ Hall in the City of London and we would love to see you there. We are hopeful that one or more of our Royal Patrons as well as the Protector of our Scholarship Programme will be in attendance as our Guest(s) of Honour, too.

The doors open at 17.45 and upon arrival you will be met by several members of the Company of Pikemen & Musketeers, so the tone will be set from the outset. We start off the evening by enjoying a champagne drinks reception before moving into the grand Livery Hall itself for a delicious 3-course dinner with wines not to mention the entertainment and speeches. Naturally, there will be an Anglo-Danish angle to the entertainment and we are extremely pleased to announce that this will include Drummers from the Danish Royal Life Guards.

The dress code will be Black Tie and decorations.

Christmas comes to Moominvalley at Jackson Lane

Dec 6 - Jan 5, 2025

Step into the enchanting world of Moominvalley this Christmas at Jacksons Lane as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the global phenomenon The Moomins with Christmas Comes to Moominvalley, our new adaptation of Tove Jansson’s classic tale, The Fir Tree.

The Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep to be told that ‘Christmas’ is coming. The only trouble is, the puzzled Moomins have no idea who, or what ‘Christmas’ is . . .

Audiences of all ages will be captivated by the lovable Moomintroll, his parents, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and all their friends, with breath taking circus, stunning imagery, enchanting storytelling, and magical music. The Moomin family demonstrate their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they prepare for their first Christmas – helping us understand what the festive season is really all about.

For ages 3-103

Produced especially for The Moomins 80th anniversary and as part of Jacksons Lane’s 50th birthday programme. Previews take place on the 6th December 2024.
