Christ Church, Swindon
Cricklade Street Swindon, SN1 3HB, United Kingdom
Join us at Christ Church Swindon for our traditional New Year’s Eve Watchnight as we welcome in 2026!

Starting at 11pm and finishing at midnight, this reflective and joyful service offers a moment to look back on the year gone by, give thanks, and pray for the year ahead.

We’ll gather together to sing, reflect, and celebrate, finishing just in time to step outside and enjoy the fireworks lighting up Old Town as the New Year begins.

It’s the perfect way to start 2026 with hope, community, and celebration.
