Christmas Cheer with Arts & Crafts Hammersmith

---

Emery Walker Trust and The William Morris Society join forces

Join the festive fun with Arts and Crafts Hammersmith

Emery Walker’s house and The William Morris Society may be shut due to Covid-19, but they have got together to lay on two seasonal online events to educate, entertain and spread Christmas cheer.

Arts & Crafts Hammersmith is a collaboration between The William Morris Society and The Emery Walker Trust. They are running a Christmas Quiz together on 9 December at 6pm. It promises to be a tough but tantalising quiz about the people and places of Hammersmith’s past.

Join them live to test your knowledge of West London either on your own, or you might prefer to join forces in a team when the quiz is live streamed.

And if you can’t make that date, the quiz will be available to play at a later on – so competitive quizzlings can watch repeatedly and work towards a perfect score!

This is a free event, but donations through the website are welcome.

Then on 17 December at 7pm Arts & Crafts Hammersmith are holding an evening of traditional holiday songs featuring a virtual recital of festive pieces that would have been enjoyed by both the Morris and Walker families.

Emery Walker’s House’s very own songbird, Soprano Katie Hinchliffe, will be entertaining us and for those who would like to sing along, all those signing up for the Zoom link will be sent a PDF programme including words to some of the more familiar carols.

Both these events are part of a programme of monthly events via Zoom. You are asked prebook via Emerywalker.org.uk.

Both Emery Walker’s House and The William Morris Society have been forced to close since March, so donations large or small are most welcome.

The Emery Walker Trust is a registered charity which aims to preserve and open the House for as many people to enjoy as possible. The Trust also aims to improve knowledge of the Arts & Crafts movement and the life and work of Sir Emery Walker.
