Celebrate the birth of Jesus and a new relationship with God at St Paul's this Advent and Christmas.

Hear again the message of the angels and, in heart and mind, go to Bethlehem and discover the peace of the Christ Child through the pages of scripture and the carols of the Choir.

Whoever you are, and whatever you believe, you are welcome to come to St Paul’s and experience Advent and Christmas through words, silence, and music at one of our services and concerts.

• Our Advent and Christmas services, along with our regular pattern of services, are free of charge to attend, and everyone is welcome.
• You will need tickets to attend our 4pm Carol Services on the 23rd and 24th December, and A Celebration of Christmas on 12th December. This year, we are opening a free online ticket ballot to distribute tickets more fairly. Anyone can enter the ballot for each of these events and successful entrants will be given the opportunity to claim two tickets.
• The ballot will open on 30th October at 9am and close on 20th November at 9am. Successful entrants will be notified by email after the closing date. The ballot will allow anyone to enter and will choose successful entries at random, no matter when they enter.
• Find out more about the ballot, and lots of other helpful information on our Christmas FAQs page.
• Tickets for Handel's Messiah on 4th December are on sale now.
• Tickets and booking information for charity concerts can be found on their individual event listing pages.

We have helpful online guidance on what to expect for those attending a service for the first time.
