Come to a Carol Service at Christ Church

Public tickets for our services of Nine Lessons and Carols are now fully booked. We are always delighted that so many of you want to worship together with us at Christmas, and we wish there was a way to fit everyone in! If you were unable to secure a ticket, you might like to join us instead on the 16th December for Five Lessons and Carols sung by the Cathedral Choir and hosted by the Friends of Christ Church Cathedral, or for one of the brilliant carol concerts or other special services taking place here this Christmas. You can find out more from our events page linked above, or by downloading a pocket guide below.
