Sung by the Boys and Lower Voices of Birmingham Cathedral

Children of all ages and their families are invited to join us for our special children’s carol service – including our annual ‘pop-up’ nativity. Fancy dress not essential but encouraged!

Including many well-known carols and readings, this relaxed and interactive service will follow the story of Jesus’ birth.

Just turn up, enjoy a festive visit to the cathedral and enjoy Christmas in Cathedral Square while you’re with us!

Everyone is welcome to join this carol service.
This service will also be live streamed.

Our Nine Lessons and Carols services will include well-known carols sung by our cathedral choir. This beautiful service in the days just before Christmas tells the story of God’s encounter with humanity through Bible readings and carols. The music for this service includes some carols sung by Birmingham Cathedral Choir, and some sung by all.

Our Midnight Mass service is where we come together late on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the first service of Christmas and ends at about midnight. We will sing and listen to hymns and carols, hear Bible readings and a sermon, pray, and celebrate Holy Communion. All are welcome to this atmospheric service.

Our Christmas Day Eucharist is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. It is a chance to reflect on and experience the joy that comes with the birth of the Christ Child, that which lies at the heart of all the bustle and busyness of the season. All are welcome to this service as we rejoice in the birth of Christ.
