Annual carol singalong tour of St Albans pubs led by Fr Richard and Paul Davis, mixing traditional carols with popular Christmas songs.
Carols Till Closing comes to The Lower Red Lion on Wednesday 16 December, one stop on a pub tour that’s been a St Albans Christmas fixture for over a decade. It's the 14th edition of the singalong, which St Saviour's Church stages across a string of the city's pubs every December. The 2026 series takes in ten pubs in total, running from 1 to 21 December, and the night at The Lower Red Lion is one of those stops.
Fr Richard and Paul Davis lead the singing, mixing traditional carols with popular Christmas favourites. The name isn't just for show, either: the singing continues until closing, so you can stay as long as you like. It's a singalong rather than a concert, with the whole room joining in rather than just listening.
The tour sits within the city's wider festive programme of carols, concerts and candlelight events that run throughout December. If you're already planning a few Christmas outings around St Albans, this is one of the more relaxed ways to fit one in — a pub singalong on a Wednesday night rather than a formal concert in a hall.
