The Christmas season lasts for much longer than two days.
Many churches offer alternative choral services, and while choirs break after Christmas Day, festive music can often be heard into January.
Come back in 2026 to find Evensong.

Not all December services are carol services.
Advent worship often has a stillness all of its own.
Evensong in Advent can be a refreshing contrast to the pace of the month.

Saw "The Choral" yesterday. Quite enjoyed it and enjoyed the recognisable characters and habits of a choir. Lovely to hear some "Dream of Gerontius", and was reminiscing singing it under Mark Elder (with another choir). I gave myself bonus points for spotting Alice Coote singing over the credits
