DESCRIPTION:Our annual Fleet Street Carols service has become so popular o
 ver the years that we now run it twice! This year it will take place on Th
 ursday 18th December at 12 noon and 5pm.\n\nWhen Fleet Street was the home
  of the newspaper industry\, this was the occasion when all the printers\,
  journalists\, and news agencies gathered at St Bride’s\, to celebrate C
 hristmas together in a not-to-be-missed or forgotten Christmas Carol servi
 ce.\n\nWe extend a very warm welcome to everyone in our parish and communi
 ty\, including local businesses\, residents\, and visitors\, to come to th
 is wonderful service and get into the festive spirit. Featuring our regula
 r brass quintet\, Onyx Brass\, and the phenomenal professional St Bride’
 s Choir\, this really is a service to remember – so\, ‘O Come\, All Ye
  Faithful …!’\n\nADMISSION\nThe service is open to all\, ticketless an
 d free to attend. Doors open 30 minutes before the event which lasts appro
 ximately 1 hour.\n\nPre-registration for early admission to this event is 
 now closed. Plenty of places (125) are available on the day on a first com
 e\, first served basis for later admission via the West Door (15 minutes b
 efore the service starts) for those who arrive without registration.\n\nMU
 SIC\nFleet Street Carols will again feature our old friends Onyx Brass\, w
 ho will join us in David Willcocks’s evergreen versions of the best-love
 d Christmas hymns and serenade you before and after the service.\n\nSt Bri
 de’s Choir will revisit two contrasting items from their extensive seaso
 nal repertoire\, which have been frequently performed in the past but not 
 heard for a number of years – Andrew Gant’s haunting setting of "What 
 child is this" and the lively\, rumbustious "Sir Christèmas" by the Welsh
  composer William Mathias.\n\nSUPPORT ST BRIDE'S\nSt Bride’s is wholly r
 eliant on and deeply grateful for the generous support of our visitors and
  congregation without which this service could not happen.\n\nThere will b
 e a retiring collection at the end of the service to support the work\, mi
 nistry and music-making of St Bride’s and help maintain our magnificent 
 Wren church.\n\nDonations can be made by cash or contactless at church or

 rch and information about accessibility are available on our Visit Us page
