Ben Elliot, Chairman of Quintessentially Foundation says: “We are thrilled to announce our third annual Fayre of St James Christmas concert, this year in partnership with The Crown Estate. 2013’s Christmas concert was a huge success and we hope to make this year’s event even bigger and better with an aim to raise over £200,000 for Rays of Sunshine.”

 

James Cooksey, Head of St James’s Portfolio at The Crown Estate said: “We are delighted to once again sponsor The Fayre of St James – an event which helps raise the profile of St James’s, with its rich architectural and cultural heritage.
