The 11^th day of the Living Advent saw the audience congregate in Greys Road car park, outside of the offices of Handelsbanken. At 6:15pm a first floor window opened and Richard Rodway welcomed everybody. “In 2011 we had Sweden to thank for bringing us the Living Advent” he said, ..”and in 2015 we had Sweden to thank for bringing to Henley Handelsbanken and this Advent window”.

There were 2 surprise performers in store for the audience, veteran radio DJ and TV presenter Mike Read, who performed a couple of festive numbers which the audience heartily joined in with, before introducing local student Katie Green who performed an acoustic set featuring tracks by Mumford & Son, Passenger and Coldplay.

The night was a fundraiser for Camp Mohawk, and despite the freezing temperatures, the large crowd made it a great night for the charity with £226.00 raised on the night, as well as 5 Euros!
