About The Story of Christmas

Founded in 1978, The Story of Christmas is an annual Christmas charity event which is strongly supported by the property and construction industries. Each December it begins at St George’s Hanover Square with a spectacular service of Nine Lessons and Carols. Readings are presented by a dazzling array of celebrated names from public life. Festive music is performed by the Band & Fanfare Trumpeters of one of the Foot Guard Regiments and a leading choir. Following the service there is a fully-catered champagne reception and charity auction at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane on Piccadilly. The event raises funds to support a broad and diverse range of charitable projects, benefitting homelessness and disadvantaged children. In 2024, The Story of Christmas raised over £1 million for the first time.
