The start of the Christmas season with the re-telling of the story of the birth of Christ in words and music at this traditional service of Lessons and Carols, with music from the St Paul's Cathedral Choir and readings given by representatives of London life and the St Paul's Cathedral Community.

Tickets are free of charge.

This year, tickets for this service will be allocated through a free ticket ballot. Anyone wishing to attend may enter, and successful entrants will be selected at random. We hope this will give everyone a fairer opportunity to join us.

Details on how to enter the ballot will be announced soon.
