War Child
- Winter Wassail 2015
Every year the charity War Child hold an exclusive Winter Wassail (concert). The events are attended by high net-worth individuals, and a multitude of celebrities committed to supporting the fantastic work done by the War Child Charity.
The Brief
In December 2015 we had the privilege of delivering technical production for the War Child event. One Mayfair was the venue chosen to host the event, a beautiful deconsecrated church. The brief was to produce the technical elements and production for the spectacular annual Winter Wassail.
We were delighted to be working with Christopher Mills, The Events Mill, alongside the hosts for the evening – The acclaimed actress Carey Mulligan, and musician Marcus Mumford.

What We Delivered
The listed building, a deconsecrated church, has various restrictions that we worked carefully around. We set to work constructing a custom-built stage. In addition, we also had to fit around intricacies and over varying heights due to the old altar.
The night was an aesthetic delight. LUX helped to realise Christopher Mills’ creative vision for the main space. Together we developed an exciting design to fill the beautiful, vast ceilings. In addition, we also set an air of serenity amongst the guests.
We were working alongside Ed Warren, Mumford and Sons lighting designer. As a result we produced some seriously effective stage lighting. This helped enhance the performances of Hozier, Jack Garret and Mumford and Sons. The incredible acts all took to the stage throughout the night.
As a result, it was certainly an unforgettable night for all involved. At LUX technical this is an event we are proud to have been supporting and providing service for. The amount of money raised on the night was truly inspiring and also goes towards supporting an amazing charity.
