Harry’s Bar – The Spirit(s) Of Xmas
Tues 14th – Sat 18th December
Tues – Fri 7:30pm, Sat 4pm
Come and join the regulars in Harry’s Bar for a night of cabaret/drama with a seasonal theme. The Three Xmas Spirits are rather depressed – having been ‘cancelled’ by the ‘woke’ culture for being too old fashioned. But Harry has a plan. If they can help Catherine Dickens, Caitlin Thomas and John Betjeman find new hope for the future – maybe they can get their mojo back.
With an eclectic mix of live music, poetry and humour – this will get your Christmas celebrations off to a good start.
