What could be more atmospheric than traditional carols sung under candlelight in the stunning surroundings of St. James’s Church? The occasion is the jewel in the Wren-designed church’s calendar, so expect familiar carols and the Christmas story, complete with ‘choir, trumpets and congregation’. Starting at 4pm on 24th December, families and children are especially welcome. So Come All Ye Faithful, or not for that matter, since St. James’s is for people of all faiths and none.
