Cathedral Carol Services †
Mon 23 December, 17:30-19:00
Tues 24 December, 17:30-19:00
A major highlight of the Cathedral’s year, our Carol Services feature music by our world-famous Cathedral Choir, and readings to tell the story of the birth of Christ.
This is a popular service; queues are likely. Doors open at 16:30.
Both Carol Services are un-ticketed.
Both Cathedral Carol Services are identical, with doors opening at 16:30 for each service, and seated on a first come first seated basis.

Essential information

All requests must be received at least four working days before the service date.
Only certified assistance animals are permitted at services. Other animals will not be allowed access.
Please note, due to the nature of the building and the demand for places at our major services, we have limited capacity and can only offer up to three companion spaces for each person who requires additional arrangements.
