Fleet Street Carols

Our annual Fleet Street Carols service has become so popular over the years that we now run it twice! This year it will take place on Wednesday 21st December at 12 noon and 5pm.

When Fleet Street was the home of the newspaper industry, this was the occasion when all the printers, journalists, and news agencies gathered at St Bride’s, to celebrate Christmas together.

Fleet Street Carols is open to all, ticketless and free to attend. Registration is not required but it helps us manage numbers and we can send you an email reminder just before the event.

Music for the service will be announced soon which will include the traditional St Bride's Choir rendition of a popular Christmas hit!

We extend a very warm welcome to everyone in our parish and community, including local businesses, residents, and visitors, to come to this wonderful service and get into the festive spirit. Featuring our regular brass quintet, Onyx Brass, and the phenomenal professional St Bride's Choir, this really is a service to remember - so, 'O Come, All Ye Faithful ...!'

A pre-recorded version of Fleet Street Carols will air online at the service time on our website and on our YouTube channel. All registering will also receive a direct link to the online service.
