Candlelight Carols
Traditional carols with organ, choir, and live band.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Christ Church Spitalfields as we sing traditional Carols by Candlelight. A moment to pause and reflect amid the season's busyness and discover peace on earth.
Amid the season's busyness and the complexities of our modern world, there is something extraordinary in gathering each December to sing carols, as billions of people have done throughout history, reminding us how a baby born two thousand years ago changed everything.
This carol service is ticketed, with all proceeds going towards the amazing work of the Food Pantry and homeless shelter, helping to tackle food insecurity and homelessness here in Tower Hamlets. Adult tickets are £3.00, and kids are free.
We recommend booking right away, as tickets usually sell out fast.
Family Nativity
Live animals and nativity play.
Gather with other families and children for our classic Family Nativity featuring live animals, a school choir, and an interactive retelling of the Christmas story. The gathering is designed with little ones in mind and is suitable for all ages, including babies and toddlers.
Sign up for free here.
