Southwark Cathedral Carol Service

Our Christmas Carol services are a true staple of our Christmas programme. The service itself incredibly atmospheric and beautiful with the building bathed in candlelight. The service follows a pattern of lessons interspersed with popular carols and Christmas motets, performed by the choir. Both evenings are performed by the Cathedral Great Choir made up of boys, girls and lay clerks. Accessibility Please note, currently there are certain areas of the Cathedral that are not accessible to wheelchair users, but we are working to improve our facilities. There is a platform lift to access the Cathedral. The Nave is accessible for wheelchairs from the Millennium Courtyard entrance via a platform lift. There are ramps into the South Transept. Access to the Retrochoir, High Altar and Choir is via the doors from the South Transept, into the Churchyard and back into the Cathedral via the Parish Door. Accessible toilet facilities are located on the Ground Floor at the end of Lancelot’s Link, other is in the basement near to the Cathedral Café and can be accessed by the passenger lift. Both toilets need a radar key which can be obtained from a Cathedral team member. Service animals are permitted.
