About
Find a moment of peace this Christmas season. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Christ Church Spitalfields as we sing traditional Carols by Candlelight. Pause and reflect amid the season's busyness, and discover peace on earth. Amid the season's busyness and the complexities of our modern world, there is something extraordinary in gathering each December to sing carols, as billions of people have done throughout history, reminding us how a baby born two thousand years ago changed everything. Candlelight Carols is a moment to join not just our church family at Christ Church, but also millions around the world—and even more over the years—who have found Christmas to be where they have found peace on earth. We would love to have you with us for this beautiful moment, when the church is lit by candlelight and singing, because in these moments we are reminded that our longing for peace on earth is fulfilled in Jesus. This carol service is ticketed, with all proceeds going towards the amazing work of the Food Pantry and homeless shelter, helping to tackle food insecurity and homelessness here in Tower Hamlets. Adult tickets are £3.00, and kids are free. We recommend booking right away, as tickets usually sell out fast.
