St John’s Church in Felixstowe is the location for the unique yuletide concert on Friday 11 December 2026, raising funds for our branch.

Join us for a wonderful evening of festive music from The Rabble Chorus, a community choir and The VIPs, a male a cappella group who have selected a mix of Christmas classics and carols for singing along to!

As a dog-friendly event, the night will bring together local pet lovers and their canine friends for an evening including a celebration of animals by the Revd Helen Rengert, vicar of Felixstowe Parish.

We would also love you to celebrate your other pets – whether they are safely at home or are no longer with you – so why not bring along a photo of your pet or memento to share with others on the night.

Doors open at 6.30pm for mulled wine and mince pies and the chance to buy your raffle tickets and other festive goodies, with the concert set to start at 7pm.

There will be a fundraising raffle with lots of local foodie treats including a star prize of a luxury Christmas hamper with contributions from the county’s leading food producers including Pump Street Chocolate and Stokes sauces.

Tickets cost £10 and include mulled wine, mince pies and other festive treats. Under 14s free of charge when accompanying a paying adult.

Book your tickets online here or pop into our shop at 144a Hamilton Road, Felixstowe, IP11 7DS to purchase (from 1 November)!
