DESCRIPTION:The St Bride’s Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Sunday
  21st December at 5:30pm is a wonderful opportunity to hear the full range
  of readings in the now famous service devised for King’s College\, Camb
 ridge in 1918 by Eric Milner-White.\n\nThe congregation sings Christmas hy
 mns ranging from Once In Royal David’s City to O Come\, All Ye Faithful 
 and we also have the opportunity to hear a number of contrasting pieces fr
 om the wide repertoire of Advent and Christmas music which St Bride’s Ch
 oir sings.\n\nADMISSION\nThe service is open to all\, ticketless and free 
 to attend. Doors open 30 minutes before the event which lasts approximatel
 y 1 hour.\n\nPre-registration for early admission to this event is now clo
 sed. Plenty of places (125) are available on the day on a first come\, fir
 st served basis for later admission via the West Door (15 minutes before t
 he service starts) for those who arrive without registration.\n\nMUSIC\nTh
 is music for this service will include some old favourites\, such as Andre
 w Carter’s arrangement of "I wonder as I wander"\, but will also feature
  two contrasting contemporary carols\, both suggested by choir members –
  Clive Osgood’s lyrical setting of the "Coventry Carol" and "Ding Dong D
 iggety" by Janet Wheeler – a jazzy re-working of the classic carol “Di
 ng dong merrily on high.”\n\nSUPPORT ST BRIDE'S\nSt Bride’s is wholly 
 reliant on and deeply grateful for the generous support of our visitors an
 d congregation without which this service could not happen.\n\nThere will 
 be a retiring collection at the end of the service to support the work\, m
 inistry and music-making of St Bride’s and help maintain our magnificent
