Community Carol Service
(Wednesday 6th December 2023)
Christmas is a time of joy when families and communities gather. All who live and work around Trafalgar Square create spaces for the world to share that joy every year. In recognition of your role in that we’d like to do the same for you.
Our neighbours are always welcome at our services and events, but this is never more the case than at Christmas. We would be delighted to welcome your organisation, family, colleagues and friends to this free carol service for our community.
The order of service can be found here.
Presider Revd Dr Sam Wells
Preacher Revd Sally Hitchiner
The Choral Scholars and Junior Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields
Directed by Polina Sosnina
Organists Ivan Leung and Ben Markovic
