Seating
The 4pm service, while often drawing large numbers, is not usually standing room only. No tickets are required, and this service is an alternative for those who worry about the long lines to enter the church for the 11pm Christmas Eve service.

This service is ideal for those with young children, since they are invited to come and sit near the steps of the chancel, near the creche, midway through the service. You may see the details in the leaflet.

There is no Holy Communion as part of this service.

If you want good seats, we suggest that you plan to arrive twenty to thirty minutes in advance.
