About this Event
Join us on Christmas Eve at 11.00 pm for this late-night service celebrating the birth of Christ, the Light of the World, in the midst of darkness. It includes the singing of Christmas Carols, music from the Abbey Choir, a sermon and Holy Communion, lasting about an hour and 15 minutes.
Tickets are free but limited to a maximum of 2 per person, to ensure as many people are able to attend as possible.
Applying for tickets
Tickets for this First Eucharist of Christmas at the Abbey are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to a maximum of 2 tickets per person.
