On Wednesday 10 December, St Marylebone Parish Church was filled with music, laughter and a shared sense of purpose as Christmas With The Stars returned for an unforgettable evening in support of Imagine This.
From the moment guests arrived, there was a feeling that this was more than a concert. It was a celebration – of creativity, community, and the power of coming together to support seriously ill children and their families.
An Evening of Music, Storytelling and Joy
Hosted by Sarah Parish MBE and Jim Murray MBE, the evening brought together an extraordinary group of performers and readers, including David Tennant, Dame Imelda Staunton, Hugh Bonneville, Richard E Grant, Amanda Holden, Donna Ashworth, and many more – alongside stunning performances from Northants Sings Out, Sylvia Young Theatre School, Scintilla Quartet, and the St Marylebone Parish Church Choir.
From moments of quiet reflection to joyful, uplifting performances — and a finale that had the entire church on its feet — the atmosphere was electric. The feedback from guests has been overwhelming, with many describing the night as moving, joyful and truly special.

Why Your Support Matters
Imagine This is the only UK charity solely dedicated to the mental wellbeing of seriously ill children and their families. While medical care is often exceptional, emotional and psychological support is still far too limited – leaving many children and families struggling in silence.
Funds raised through events like Christmas With The Stars help us deliver imaginative, life-changing projects including creative therapies, movement and mindfulness sessions in hospitals, music therapy in neonatal intensive care units, and compassionate bereavement support for families facing the unimaginable.
The Silent Auction: Still Open (Until 22 December)
While the concert itself may be over, one of the most impactful parts of the event is still live.
