Christmas Day Eucharist sung by the Cathedral Choir and presided over by the Bishop of Birkenhead, with seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
Chester Cathedral holds its Christmas Day Eucharist on Friday 25 December at 10.30am, a service celebrating the arrival of the Christ-child. It's sung by the Cathedral Choir and presided over by the Bishop of Birkenhead.
It's one of the services that fill the cathedral's festive programme, which also takes in the Festival of Lessons and Carols on 23 and 24 December, a Crib Service for young children on Christmas Eve, Midnight Mass sung by the Nave Choir and the Advent Procession. The cathedral's own Annual Christmas Carol Concert on 12 December is the only ticketed service of the season.
Around the building, the nave plays host to the Christmas Tree Festival, which runs from 25 November to 4 January. More than 80 trees decorate the space around the theme 'Christmas Around the World', and there's a Christmas Sheep Trail of twelve knitted sheep to find in the Cloisters.
