About this Event

This candle lit service tells the story of the birth of Jesus through Bible readings and music sung by the Minster choir with accompaniment by Hammonds Band and the Minster organ. Carols are sung by the congregation.

This year the service is ticketed to avoid over-crowding. Ticket-holders are asked to be seated by 6.15pm. A reserve queue will operate from 6.15pm, but admittance will only be permitted if space allows. Please aim to stay to the end of the service to avoid movement around the building with naked flames present.

Tickets are FREE but donations are welcome to support the mission and maintenance of the Minster. Running costs are now over £1000 per day and the Minster is completely self-funding.
