Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
Traditional candlelit choral christmas service sing by robed cathedral choir
Join us for our annual Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, a cherished tradition that tells the Christmas story through scripture and song.
Following the format made famous by King's College, Cambridge, this candlelit service weaves together nine biblical readings tracing the narrative from Creation to the birth of Christ, interspersed with much-loved Christmas carols and anthems.
Our choir will lead the congregation in singing timeless favourites whilst also performing specially selected choral works that illuminate the readings. This beautiful and moving service offers a moment of quiet reflection amidst the busyness of the season, and all are warmly invited to share in this celebration of the Christmas story.
