The Yards Covent Garden Kicked Off Christmas With a Community Choir Takeover

LONDON, UK – The Yards Covent Garden launched its 2025 festive season with Festive Community Voices, a free open-air Christmas music event that took place on Thursday 27 November, 5pm–8pm.

Transforming the open-air shopping and dining neighbourhood into a musical winter wonderland, the evening brought together inclusive West End choir Sing Space and talented DJs from The Baked Bean Charity – a London-based organisation supporting people with learning disabilities through creativity and performance.

Audiences joined in and sang along to a joyful mix of musical theatre favourites and Christmas classics – from The Greatest Showman to Winter Wonderland – beneath The Yards’ spectacular festive lantern light installation.

Celebrating community, inclusivity, and the magic of collective music-making, the immersive evening marked the first event in The Yards’ Lantern Light Nights Christmas series.
