Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 08:01 · Archive
Norwich Cathedral is hosting candlelit Advent and Christmas services and concerts from November onwards.
Norwich Cathedral is hosting a series of festive services and concerts throughout Advent and Christmas. The season begins with a candlelit Advent Procession on 29 November at 6pm, featuring carols and readings as preparations for Christmas commence.
Additional highlights include 'Silence in the Cathedral', an hour-long reflection on Advent with solo music bookending the silence, on 30 November at 7pm. On 4 December at 5.30pm, the Cathedral will hold an Evensong with the making of a Child Bishop, reviving a medieval custom in which one of the Cathedral's choristers is appointed 'Child Bishop' in celebration of St Nicholas, the patron saint of children.
The Cathedral Choir will perform two seasonal concerts: 'Christmas with Norwich Cathedral Choir' on 11 December and Handel's Messiah by Candlelight on 19 December. Tickets are now available for both concerts. From 4 December to 3 January, visitors can place decorations on the Tree of Remembrance outside the Cathedral's outdoor crib to remember loved ones.
