Information - James B Partridge – The Big Christmas Assembly 2026

Get ready to step back in time and sing your heart out, Ipswich! We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the sensation that is James B Partridge to the Ipswich Corn Exchange for The Big Christmas Assembly 2026.

If you miss the days of school nativity plays, glitter-glue halos, and the pure excitement of the last day of term, this is the ultimate festive night out for you. Here at Ipswich.love, we think this is the perfect way to kickstart your 2026 holiday season with a massive dose of nostalgia and joy.

Dust Off Your Glitter-Glue Halos!

The Big Christmas Assembly is a nostalgic, feel-good festive singalong that will bring your childhood Christmas memories flooding back. Expect a night packed with festive classics, throwback mashups, and laugh-out-loud stories.

Picture this: a mulled wine in your hand, surrounded by friendly faces, singing “Calypso Carol” at the top of your lungs like you’re back in the school hall. It’s the kind of heartwarming, communal magic that will leave you smiling all the way to Boxing Day!

From the Classroom to Glastonbury

What started as playful performances by James for his primary school pupils has blossomed into a full-blown nationwide phenomenon. You might have spotted James spreading joy on TikTok, closing the field at Glastonbury Festival, or appearing on Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 2, The One Show, and Songs of Praise.

James is in high demand, and with the majority of his 2025 Christmas tour selling out way in advance, we strongly recommend booking your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Don’t miss your chance to see him live right here in Ipswich!

The Ultimate Festive Night Out in Ipswich

James says: “I’ve always loved how the songs we sang as children at Christmas brought so much joy. This show is a celebration of those moments – from assembly halls to nativity plays – and I can’t wait to see audiences relive them together.”

Whether you are organising the office Christmas party, planning a fun night out with your best friends, or just want to treat yourself to a wonderful pre-Christmas warm-up, this show is guaranteed to get everyone in the festive spirit.

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
