The Christmas carol services you can enjoy this year in Liverpool
3 years ago
Everyone loves a carol at Christmas and Liverpool will celebrate with carols and services throughout the special season of Advent and on the day itself.
But it’s in the city’s two cathedrals and its parish church where many of us will get together.
Here are the services you can enjoy…
Liverpool Cathedral
Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral is celebrating the season with a host of festive services.
All the services are free, but you do need to book.
Lighting of the Tree and Blessing of the Crib Service
Sunday, December 13, 3-4pm
In a delightful service suitable for the whole family the tree is lit and the crib scene is brought to life and blessed for Christmas.
Get into the festive spirit as the Cathedral Choir sings well-known Christmas carols and hymns.
Don’t forget you can also see the breath-taking Angel Wings until 3 January.
Saturday and Sunday, December 19 & 20, 3-4pm
Gather for a festive service of readings and carols with the procession of the Holly Bough and Christmas trees through the cathedral.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King Liverpool
The Cathedral Choir will take a leading role in services at the Cathedral, and this month is packed with opportunities to hear them sing.
With smaller numbers allowed, you’ll need to book for services – and it’s recommended you do that early. But, if you’re not able to visit in person, all services will be lived-streamed, so everyone can join in.
December 19 & 20 Dec, 6pm
Its annual Christmas Carol Service returns for two very special dates this Advent. Enjoy classic carols, traditional readings and celebrate Christmas in the glorious surroundings of the Metropolitan Cathedral. The music will include popular favourites such as ‘Ding Dong, Merrily on High’ and ‘O Holy Night,’ alongside contemporary compositions such as Eric Whitacre’s ‘Lux arumque.’
