Christmas Carol Service

• Sunday 7th Dec 2025 at 16.00
• Monday 8th Dec 2025 at 19.00

Join us for our annual service of Nine Lessons and Carols as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ through Bible readings, the singing of carols, and specially-prepared festive music from the choir and organ.

Come and sing much-loved Christmas carols from both the English and Danish traditions, and enjoy the sound of the St Alban's Choir singing glorious music, old and new, that tell the good news of the Christmas story.

All are welcome. There are no tickets for these services.

Doors will open 30 minutes beforehand until we reach our maximum capacity. Arrive early to ensure you get a seat!
