Attending our Advent and Christmas services
You can attend most services by turning up on the day but the very popular Service of Lessons and Carols and Midnight Mass do need free tickets to be booked in advance.
These tickets book up very quickly so they will be released gradually to give everyone a chance to apply. They will be released on:
Tuesday 12th November at 9.30am GMT
Tuesday 12th November at 2.30pm GMT
Thursday 14th November at 9.30am GMT
Thursday 14th November at 2.30pm GMT
Most of our services are not ticketed so if you are not successful in securing tickets this year we hope that you will join us at another service - they are all very special occasions.
You can find a full list of services above.
