Are there any churches locally with carol services (not midnight mass) on Christmas Eve?


St John's on Goose Green used to have carols immediately before midnight mass, but it doesn't seem to be doing that this year.


ETA: To be clear, I am looking for adult carol services, not Christingle or childrens' carol services, as I won't be with any children this year.


And preferably late evening services.

I can't see anything on their calendar mentioning Christmas at all, let alone carols!!


Am I looking in the wrong place, or have they just copied and pasted their usual activities to 24th and 25th December?

St Stephen?s Church

College Road,

Dulwich,

London,

SE21 7HW


Christmas Eve,?4pm Crib Service with the St Stephen?s Choristers. Carols, a talk, and a procession to the Crib. Children may come dressed as their favourite character from the Nativity story.


Seek and ye shall find. Google

Thanks, obviously I did google beforte I posted on here.


I found a few children's services, including Christingle,and including on Christmas Eve, but I was really looking for an adult carol service.


Sorry, I should have been clearer in the original post.


ETA: I will add this to the original post.

St Barnabas has taken a step forward on the gender front, with parts in carols labelled 'upper voices' and 'lower voices'. As a bit of a Dame Hilda Bracket, I've always felt conspicuous singing with the men before - never stopped me, but nice to feel included.

Reviving this thread from two years back, because just in case anybody else was planning to go to St Paul's, when we got there we found a massive massive queue, which sadly none of the organisers apparently thought to count and then let the people behind the end of the count know that they wouldn't get in.


Having stood in it for hours (I can't remember how many hours) we were told a) we wouldn't get in and b) people had been queuing since midday !!!!!

If you fancy something a bit closer to home, you are all very welcome to join us tomorrow (Sunday 22nd) at St Clement with St Peter's church.


Sunday 22 December at 5pm


CANDLELIGHT SERVICE OF CAROLS AND READINGS (Followed by mince pies and mulled wine)



(Pedestrian access from Friern Road or Barry Road, opposite Silvester Road. Car access from Barry Road only)

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
