A music and literary festival will celebrate its 25th year this weekend.

Proms at St Jude's, at St Jude-on-the-Hill, Central Square in Hampstead Garden Suburb, will hold a firework display on June 24 and a spit roast before a jazz concert on July 1.

The event has raised more than £800,000 for the North London Hospice in its 25 years, and will be supporting Toynbee Hall in Tower Hamlets this year.

Spokesman for the festival, Ron Finlay, said: "We have events for every taste, from opera to jazz, Simon & Garfunkel to Schubert."

Highlights of the festival include talks from Jenni Murray of BBC Woman's Hour and authors of the Ladybird books for grown-ups, and a Charlie Chaplin night which will see three silent films accompanied by a live orchestra.

There will also be lunchtime events for children including a teddy bear's picnic.

The festival runs from June 24-July 2 and tickets can be booked at the Proms at St Jude's website.
