Our Big Christmas Day Lunch is back again. With festive food, live music, gifts and dancing.
It's our party for older residents and those in need who would otherwise be celebrating the holiday alone.
Once again, we're hoping to host up to 500 residents on Christmas Day at the Novotel London West hotel in Hammersmith. We offer free transport to and from for anyone who needs it.
The day is completely free for everyone attending, made possible with donations from residents and businesses, and our partnership with local charity H&F Giving.
Cllr Alex Sanderson, Deputy Leader of H&F:
"Christmas is a time to celebrate and get together with friends, family and neighbours, and our Big Christmas Lunch makes sure no one is left out! The day is always filled with fun and it's part of our work to build a stronger, safer and kinder borough."
Make a booking
To be eligible, you must be a H&F resident and either be aged 60 years and over, or referred by one of our services or charities.
Online applications close on Wednesday 10 December. Confirmations of your place, menu choice and any transport requests will be sent out week commencing 15 December.

This event is completely funded by local giving, with donations from businesses and crowdfunding.
