Christmas Singalong on the Tea Lawn
We’re inviting you to join us for a festive outdoor Christmas singalong! It will be a wonderful opportunity to come along and sing a selection of your favourite Christmas songs and carols led by our fabulous cabaret artists Alison Guill and Jamie Anderson, with our resident pianist Stephen Hose on the keys.
This is an outdoor event. Chairs will be provided but it is your responsibility to wrap up warm. We encourage wearing lots of layers, or even bringing a blanket. We will go ahead even in the event of rain unless we deem it to be unsafe, so we recommend waterproofs, wellies and umbrellas if this is the case. Bring a lantern or torch along if you have one and help us light up the Tea Lawn!

‘Metamorphosis’ is a collection of fantastical and surreal paintings and drawings by Hazel Florez. The theme of transition and transmutation tie together this collection of works that explore dream worlds and the symbolic realm of the subconscious.
Influenced by concepts of Jungian psychology, this exhibition invites the viewer into a world of mystical and mythological storytelling. Central to the exhibition is a series of wooden panel paintings each showing a different stage in alchemical transformation. Alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, concerned with the transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base metals into gold or find a universal elixir. However, in this exhibition alchemy is also explored in myths, psychological transformation and the reclaiming of powerful female archetypes in the form of symbols of the classical goddesses. As part of her research and creative process, for this exhibition, Florez has drawn inspiration from alchemical manuscripts at The Ritman Library Archive based in Amsterdam. She invites her viewers to step into the realms of magic and the otherworldly.
Hazel Florez (b. 1984) is a UK artist based in a London Studio in Hackney. She graduated at Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh college of Art from the MA Fine Art program in 2007. She is currently represented by Bridgeman Images. She has exhibited with a number of London art collectors and galleries including, The Holy Art, The Tub Gallery, Purslane, and The Vacant Museum.
The Annual Exhibition gives The Royal Photographic Society the opportunity to showcase just a small selection of the work of London Region members. Images represent many genres and styles – from travel to contemporary, from portraiture to street – and much more.
The photographers themselves range from those new to the art and practice of photography to those who have attained an ‘FRPS’, the highest level of the Society’s Distinctions: some members work professionally or semi-professionally. Some images are taken on film, others with the latest digital camera. You can expect to see 70+ framed and mounted prints and a number of images displayed digitally.
