Eltham Palace transformed into a winter wonderland for festive season

Enchanted Eltham returns this December, transforming the grounds of Eltham Palace into an illuminated world of colour and soundscapes. On evenings between December 5 – 22, visitors can follow a twinkling trail through the grounds, and see the trees lit up by mystical hues of purple, green, pink and blue. The trail leads its wide-eyed guests to a winter wonderland complete with fairground rides, festive stalls, steaming cauldrons of mulled wine and sugar-dusted mince pies. Grab your winter woolies and head on over, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Now in its third year, Enchanted Eltham is expected to welcome around 18,000 visitors this festive period. “The trail through this wonderful landscape takes on a special feel as thousands of lights and colour projections pick out the trees, water and other features of the gardens, and turn them into something spectacular against the dark winter sky,” says Diana Evans, events manager for English Heritage, the charity behind the event. “It’s also filled with fun surprises along the way – and at the end there are fairground rides, marshmallows to toast and festive gifts to buy, making it a really lovely early evening out.”

Those who have visited Enchanted Eltham in previous years won’t find the attraction exactly as they remember it, though, because the 2019 iteration welcomes several new attractions.

“We know that many of our visitors will have been before, so to give them something different to see, we’ve made the projections more exciting, by giving visitors the power to interact with them,” says Diana. Visitors can interact with a light installation on the external walls of the Medieval Great Hall, changing the patterns projected there. The returning Chime Time also has a new interactive element, allowing visitors can play a series of bells to create a familiar festive tune.

“We’ve also added a fairy element to the light maze, which we expect to be especially popular with children,” reveals Diana. “These friendly fairies have made their home among the twinkling lights,” she says. “There will be trees ablaze with colour and magical

secrets to discover hidden around the garden, including two talking trees.” Beyond that, Diana and the team at English Heritage are keeping new additions to the event firmly under wraps, “so visitors can discover them on the night”.

For first time visitors, Diana has some tips.

“Wear sensible flat shoes and wrap up warm in layers, so you can take something off if you start to warm up as you walk around the trail,” she advises. “Bring some cash so you can enjoy the fairground rides, toasted marshmallows, mince pies and mulled wine – and perhaps pack a light shopping bag in case you spot some musthave gifts to take home,” she grins.

For Diana and her colleagues at English Heritage, Enchanted Eltham is ultimately an opportunity for the public to experience the picturesque and historic grounds of Eltham Palace in a different, magical way.

“It really brightens up the winter gloom.

We hope visitors come away feeling entranced and delighted by what they saw, and that the experience inspires them to enjoy the festive season to come,” she says. “Of course, we also hope it tempts them to return to see the historic property and its gardens by daylight too!”

Enchanted Eltham is taking place at Eltham Palace, Court Yard, London SE9 5QE. December 5 - 22, with sessions at 4:30pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm.

Admission: £12 (£8 members)/£7.50 (£5 members). www.english-heritage.org.uk www.weekender.co.uk

News from the Royal Borough of Greenwich

2019 poster winner, Tom Harvey, from Hanwell.

Give a child in Royal Greenwich a gift this Christmas There are some children living in our borough who aren’t going to get a present this Christmas…unless we come together and donate gifts to make sure they do.

Following last year’s successful ‘Christmas Tree Project’ appeal, which saw over 19,000 presents donated to children across the country, the Metropolitan Police are once again collecting gifts and they need your support.

A big thank you to everyone our borough who donated a present to the Christmas Tree Project last year!

With your help, Metropolitan Police were able to distribute over 800 presents to children locally - let’s see if we can beat that this year, shall we?

Any gifts of toys, toiletries, clothes or vouchers are greatly appreciated. Presents will need to be checked by trading standards before being delivered to local children, therefore, we ask that you do not wrap your donations.

Greenwich Police will be accepting donations until 12 December and you can register to donate your presents and find your nearest police station to do so at: www.met.police.uk/christmastree.

Theatre

John O’Connor’s truly Dickensian A Christmas Carol returns to Greenwich Theatre

Did you know, A Christmas Carol was the first public reading Charles Dickens ever gave of one of his own works. It was a success – so much so, that the author went on to perform it a further 150 times.

Here to recreate that original performance is actor John O’Connor, who with European Arts Company is bringing a truly Dickensian production of Dickens’ best-loved ghost story to Greenwich Theatre. Following a sell-out run at the theatre last year, the popular production returns this Christmas – but for two days only. Ahead of its arrival, Holly O’Mahony speaks to John O’Connor to find out more…

Holly O’Mahony: Tell us a bit about your production of A Christmas Carol. What sets it apart from other dramatisations that audiences might see this winter?

John O’Connor: We have taken Dickens’ original performance script, edited and shaped by him over many years, and turned it into a 90-minute play. It’s a one-man show based on Dickens’s own public performances of the story in the 1850s and 60s.

He toured all over Britain and America performing to up to 3,000 people a night, and was an absolute sensation. He even came and did a reading in Greenwich in 1866.

HOM: We know Dickens as a great author, but was he really much of a performer?

8 December 4 2019

JOC: Dickens nearly became a professional actor at the age of 20 and he never stopped hankering after the footlights. By all contemporary accounts, he was an astonishing performer. Far from simply reading the stories, he learned them off by heart, rehearsing them meticulously and turning them into his own acting tour de force. So successful was he, that he made more money from his public readings than from all his books and novels put together!

HOM: What made you want to recreate Dickens’ own telling of his story, rather than adapting A Christmas Carol anew?

JOC: There have been many one-man versions of A Christmas Carol over the years but the first and greatest was

editorial@weekender.co.uk

by Dickens himself. The show came from us wondering what it must have been like to be a member of Dickens’ own audience. This is our fourth year of touring the show and the second time we’ve taken it to Greenwich Theatre, after a sell-out run last year.

HOM: In A Christmas Carol, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge becomes a community-spirited merrymaker after being visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Is the story as relevant today as it was in Dickens’ day?

JOC: There is always something new to discover in the story and in the telling of it. In these times of austerity and social division, the story’s themes of greed and want, family and community feel as important as they did when it was first published in December 1843.

Some of Dickens’s early readings of A Christmas Carol were in aid of Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, which he helped to set up. For that reason, we have partnered with GOSH to raise money for their work in the spirit of the original story.

News from the Royal Borough of Greenwich

’Tis the season to be jolly Magical Christmas celebrations took over Greenwich, Eltham and Thamesmead last month as the Royal Borough of Greenwich festivities sprinkled the town centres with Christmas cheer.

A movie-themed lantern parade lit up the skies in Eltham while visitors in Greenwich were greeted with giant swans a-swimming and five gold rings among other Christmas carol favourites in their parade. Children from schools and local organisations displayed lanterns they had made in a magical procession of light.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas If you missed out, not to worry, there is still the annual Woolwich Winter Warmer spark-tacular to come. Organised in partnership with Berkley Homes, the extravaganza returns this Saturday 7 December from 12pm to 6.30pm across the whole of Woolwich from General Gordon Square down to the Royal Arsenal.

Step into Christmas with not one, but two live music stages hosted Maritime Radio and featuring performances from local choirs and Ariana Grande tribute act The Dangerous Woman! Find unique, handmade gifts for family and friends at The Collective market, look out for El Carromato’s

Big Dancers, take a ride on a pedal-powered sleigh and round it all off with a hot chocolate or mulled wine from one of the food and drink stalls while watching the firework finale.

If you would like to take part in the fantastic lantern parade at Woolwich, then head down to Woolwich Library on Saturday 7 December from 11am to 2pm for a free lantern making workshop.

Theatre HOM: You’re currently on a monthlong tour with the show. How do you find being on the road?

second performance. Do you find the atmosphere in the auditorium changes in the final days leading up to Christmas?

JOC: Fortunately, I love touring. What’s more, we’re taking the show to many of the places Dickens performed at himself, including Greenwich, Margate, Cambridge, Brighton and York. We’ve tried our best to recreate Dickens’ own tour, from the style of dress and set he performed with, to the gestures he favoured and even the script he used.

JOC: People certainly seem in a more relaxed, festive mood for the final countdown. On December 23, many will have finished work for the year and might arrive at the theatre having had a glass of mulled wine or three!

On the other hand, many people will come and see the show in order to get in touch with the spirit of Christmas. I’m with them: no matter how many times I hear Slade belted out at me in the shops, it doesn’t make me feel Christmassy. Dickens practically invented our idea of what's important about Christmas, and all the best elements – family, feasting, giving, love and redemption – are there in the show for the audience to savour.

HOM: Are there any of Dickens’ practices you’re purposefully not implementing?

He was known to be quite the drinker…

JOC: Yes, there’s one point at which I have drawn the line: pre-show preparation.

Dickens used to have two tablespoons of rum mixed with cream for breakfast, a pint of champagne for tea and, half an hour before he went on stage, a glass of sherry with a raw egg beaten into it!

HOM: The show is coming to Greenwich Theatre this Christmas not once but twice as part of the run. Why the two spaced out performances [on December 9 and 23]?

JOC: Last year, we performed in the studio and it sold out three months before we arrived! Many people were disappointed not to see it so the theatre has put us in the main house this time. This year’s pantomime [Sleeping Beauty] will be packing in the crowds from Tuesday – Sunday each week, so we’re taking the only other day available: Monday. It’s a nice alternative option for audiences who want to feel Christmassy but aren’t particularly into panto.

HOM: You’ve bagged the prime preChristmas spot of December 23 for your

10 December 4 2019

HOM: Finally, what do you hope the audience takes away from seeing your production of A Christmas Carol?

JOC: This is A Christmas Carol as Dickens used to deliver it himself. There have been many versions of the story over the years – from The Muppets to Dr Who – but this comes straight from the heart of the author himself.

Dickens used to say to his audiences before a performance: “If you feel disposed to give expression to any emotion whether grave or gay, you will do so with perfect freedom from restraint and without the least apprehension of disturbing me.” In other words, there’s no need to be as reserved as a Victorian! Feel free to laugh, cry, gasp and wonder, in the spirit of Christmas past, present and future.

He was a colourful and complex character with tremendous energy and passion, and this is what we want the audience to experience.

A Christmas Carol is on at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, Greenwich, London SE10 8ES. December 9 at 7:30pm, and December 23 at 2:30pm and 7:30pm.

CACT gains new affiliated team in Oxleas Athletic CACT’s Jason Morgan (middle, right) and Carl Krauhaus (right) with Oxleas’ Keith Soper (middle, left) and participants at the launch of Oxleas Athletic

Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) has unveiled a new affiliated football team, Oxleas Athletic, run in partnership with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust.

CACT runs a number of mental health programmes in conjunction with Oxleas NHS, including the awardwinning Up & At ‘Em programme, for over 65s with a mental health diagnosis.

The Up & At ‘Em programme has won two national awards this year, scooping accolades in July and October.

The Oxleas Athletic team will comprise individuals who are under various Oxleas NHS services.

Players will wear CACT-branded kit and play their home games at Charlton Athletic’s Sparrows Lane training ground in New Eltham, where the launch took place on 14 November.

In their first game, Oxleas Athletic beat Millwall Lions 6-4 in an entertaining encounter.

CACT’s Chief Executive Jason Morgan attended the event with staff and representatives from Oxleas.

Keith Soper, Director of Forensic and Prison Services at Oxleas NHS, said: “We’re really proud of the links we have with CACT’s scheme, which does fantastic work with local communities in a number of different areas.

“We were delighted to receive the donation of a football kit for our team of service users, as well as enjoying access to their first-rate facilities which we are pleased to be using as our home ground.”

Carl Krauhaus, CACT’s Head of Early Help & Prevention, said: “Our partnership with Oxleas has always been hugely successful, which has been evidenced this year with our Up & At ‘Em partnership project winning two national awards.

“We are pleased to be in a position to support the new Oxleas Athletic football team with pitch use and a playing kit. I was present to see the team beat Millwall Lions and I think this team will have some great experience over the coming years.”

Oxleas provides community health, mental health and learning disability services in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley.

Sister act: Natasha and Francesca save up £20,000 to buy apartment at Lovell Homes’ Trinity Walk, Woolwich

Natasha and Francesca Davies have shown that these sisters are doing it for themselves after saving over £20,000 for a deposit to buy a two-bed apartment in ‘up and coming’ Woolwich.

The sisters have just moved into a fourth floor, two-bedroom apartment at Lovell Homes’ Trinity Walk costing £465,999. The spacious property boasts two bathrooms and two balconies, which allows them to enjoy morning and evening sun.

Francesca, 28, and Natasha, 26, managed to save up the deposit over five years and bought the property using the Government’s Help to Buy initiative.

They fell in love with the development in July when they happened to be driving past.

18 December 4 2019

Natasha recalls: “We were living in the area and looking to move out of mum and dads’ flat. We saw the Trinity Walk sales’ suite and decided to pop in. We pretty much decided to reserve there and then when we saw the beautiful show apartment.

“We knew exactly what we wanted and this was it. We didn’t have to look at another development – this ticked all the boxes. The whole process has been quick, and we couldn’t be happier in our own home.”

Trinity Walk is a collection of 445 new build one, two and three-bedroom apartments and 13 three- and fourbedroom townhouses. Each new home has been built to maximise space and light as well as being finished with a high specification to ensure high levels

of comfort, security and quality.

restaurants within a short walk.”

Francesca added: “Our apartment is very spacious and has great two balconies which is amazing. We’ll be able to enjoy the outside lifestyle even more in the Spring and Summer but it’s still nice now to be able to step out of our apartment and look out onto the communal gardens.”

Both sisters work in the dentistry sector.

Francesca works in the NHS training dental nurses and Natasha is a hygienist in a private practice.

The proximity of Trinity Walk to the Woolwich Arsenal DLR line and the coming soon Queen Elizabeth Cross Rail line were also vital to the sisters’ choosing Trinity Walk.

“We wanted to stay in the area, and Woolwich is widely considered to be up and coming so hopefully our apartment will appreciate in value,” added Natasha.

“The riverside regeneration looks great and the level of new and ongoing investment in the area can only be a good thing. There’s so many cool coffee shops, bars and

Natasha said: “We can be on the train in 10 minutes and Cross Rail will make it quicker to get into central London.

It’s great for work and our social life!”

Jean-Philippe Gadel, Lovell Homes’ Regional Sales Manager, said: “We are delighted to hear that Francesca and Natasha have settled in well and are enjoying living at Trinity Walk.”

He added: “There’s never been a better time for first time buyers to get onto the London housing ladder. We have sold over 90 per cent of the apartments at Trinity Walk to first time buyers.

“With prices for a one bed luxury apartment starting at £339,000, first-time buyers are finding they can afford to buy at Trinity Walk with the Help to Buy initiative. A five per cent deposit is all buyers need and with interest rates being historically low, there’s never been a better time to get onto the property ladder.”
