Vincent's Jinglebell Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Silvertown. Vincent Haynes, the brains behind Brick Lane Music Hall, presents this year’s Christmas show. Accompanying this eccentric performance will be a three-course candlelit meal at evening performances, followed by music and dancing. By no means an understated event – get into the Christmas spirit at this proper East End extravaganza.
