To help maintain your sense of anticipation for Christmas coming, or indeed to offer an alternative to Slade, Mariah and the many iterations of O come all ye faithful you may have already heard this Festive season, we offer you a still rousing and uplifting programme of well-known and more recently-crafted choral and organ pieces for the season of Advent. You even get to join us in song, in three of the greatest carols of the season. As a reward for your efforts, we’ll offer you some mulled wine and a mince pie and hopefully provide a magical, candlelit atmosphere in this beautiful, 12th Century church within Leicester’s Old Castle quarter.
Please note the earlier start time – bring the family. Tickets available soon.
