Gather round close for a candlelit cabaret of music, stories, and spectral surprises.

From his piano, Will Pickvance spins tales of Christmas past, present, and future, joined by his band of merry misfits and ghostly guests. There’ll be mince pies, punch, and wassailing. From the chaos, there will be salvaged cheer!

For the rag and bone in all of us.
