Henley Living Advent Calendar

About this event

Every evening from 1 December to Christmas Eve, a new 'window' opens somewhere in Henley-on-Thames, revealing a short surprise performance. Doors, windows and courtyards across town become stages for local musicians, choirs and community groups. The acts are a closely guarded secret until the door opens at around 6.15pm, with everything from classical and jazz to spoken word and festive songs, each lasting about 20 minutes. Many raise money for local charities, and the finale on Christmas Eve is at St Mary's Church. Free to watch and wonderfully festive; check the daily location before heading out.
