Countdown to Christmas continues at Cathedral

Worcester Editorial 23rd Dec, 2022   0

WORCESTER Cathedral is preparing to welcome the local community to celebrate a packed programme of services, concerts and events this Christmas

The glittering Christmas Tree Festival will run January 8.

No tickets are required this year and all are warmly welcome to come along and view the glittering avenue of innovatively designed trees lining the medieval cloister.

They will be available to view during normal opening times, every day except Christmas Day.




This Christmas, experience the beauty of a carol service at the Cathedral, with traditional readings, anthems sung by one of the Cathedral’s choirs, and your favourite carols accompanied by the magnificent organ. Or come to one of the crib services on Christmas Eve to see the Christmas story re-enacted – with real animals
