A popular, informal 20-minute service with traditional carols. There will be a Christmas welcome from the clergy, a solo from one of their choristers and a chance to sing aloud to popular carols.
Meet with the group, grab a festive drink and experience a great Christmas Tradition to celebrate the end of Semester.
The schedule for the day is as follows:
13:00 - Meet at the on Campus Meeting Point (Arrivals Square Bus Stop)
13:30 - Meet outside the Abbey in Bath City Centre
14:00 - Carol service begins
14:30 - Head off in to town, get a festive drink or do some Christmas Shopping!
A volunteer will be at both meeting points to check you in. If you are meeting at the bus stop, please arrive promptly at 13:00 so you have enough time to get the bus down the hill.
Sign ups to meet the Volunteer are now closed. You are welcome to still attend the service but you will need to make your own way there.
Please note, this is not a ticketed event and other members of the public will be able to attend. Please arrive in plenty of time to meet the group as seats inside the service are not guaranteed.
