Members-Only Christmas Carol Service

The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula

The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula

Join us for a traditional Service of Lessons and Carols with the Choir of the Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula and immerse yourself in the Christmas season at the heart of the Tower of London. Sing along to popular carols and hear bible readings tell the story of the nativity.

Although the current Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula dates from the reign of Henry VIII, there has been a place of worship on this site for over a thousand years, predating even the White Tower. Enjoy the history of this ancient space during an exclusive members-only evening of music and word celebrating Christmas.

Please keep in mind that space is limited due to the historic nature of the setting, and we anticipate a high demand for tickets; please book early to avoid disappointment.

Due to the historic nature of this space, this event is not fully accessible for wheelchair users. Please contact us in advance at members@hrp.org.uk to discuss any particular access requirements or if you require a carer ticket.
