Family Christingle & Crib Service

for 1 hour
Venue
St Peter's, Parkstone
Address
Church Road Poole, BH14 0NN, United Kingdom

Get ready for the most wonderful—and definitely the loudest—hour of our year! Our Family Christingle & Crib Service is back, and we are expecting a joyful crowd of 500 people to help us raise the roof.

Forget "hush-hush" and "sit still"—this is a high-energy celebration of the Christmas story. Here is what you can expect:

A Joyful Noise: With 500 voices singing, shouting, and celebrating, it’s less of a 'silent night' and more of a 'party night!'

The Christingle Glow: We’ll be handing out oranges, ribbons, and sweets as we light up the room.

The Big Story: Help us build our Nativity scene as we welcome the baby Jesus to the crib.

Beautiful Mayhem: It’s busy, it’s bustling, and it’s the perfect way for families to burn off some pre-Christmas excitement.

Dress code: Come dressed as a favourite nativity character!

Note: Because it gets very busy, we recommend arriving early to snag a spot in the thick of the action!
