Join us on Christmas Eve at 4.00pm for our family Crib Service – a short, relaxed and very child-friendly time of worship that helps us all, whatever our age, to pause and remember what Christmas is really about.
During the service we gather around the crib and tell the Nativity story in simple, accessible language. As the story unfolds, children are invited to help place the figures into the manger scene – Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the angels, and of course the baby Jesus. It’s a lovely way for little ones to take part and for grown-ups to see the story afresh through their eyes.

Join us at Holy Trinity on Christmas Day. We’re especially delighted to be joined this morning by the Bishop of Derby, who is leading our Sung Eucharist.
This is the heart of our Christmas celebrations — a service filled with carols, warmth, and thanksgiving as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the light of the world.
Come and share in the wonder of Christmas morning — the hope, the peace, and the love that Christ brings to us all
