Nine Lessons and Carols

A Festival of Lessons and Carols is an English creation made widespread by its institution at King’s College. Our service is based on that tradition and is a service of nine readings, or 'lessons', and carols.

Each year at Nine Lessons and Carols, we invite representatives from the community to make one of the readings, as a way of recognising their contribution to our shared life in the county.

This service is very popular and as a result, we are holding two services on Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 December. Tickets are free but limited. Please only book for those able to attend, seating on the night will be unreserved.

Please note, that when seats have run out, overflow seating will be available for walk-ins in the Quire, North Gallery and Lady Chapel.
