Christmas around the World

This year we are very excited to be discovering different ways people celebrate and represent Christmas around the world through our carol service. Through song, language and images from around the world it will be a voyage of Christmas discovery! Definitely not one to be missed!

And this year we have 2 dates so we can accommodate more schools to celebrate Christmas with us in Lincoln Cathedral!

 

The day is aimed at upper KS1 & 2 pupils who are members of the school choir or who enjoy singing.  Prior to the day we send you Christmas songs and hymns to learn that will be used in the service. On the day we spend the morning learning to sing and perform the songs for the service in the afternoon. In the afternoon we enjoy a great Christmas celebration with pupil led readings, prayers, singing and hearing from the local clergy.  The afternoon also gives the opportunity for parents and carers to attend and be part of the service.

 

Details for booking will be sent in the autumn term and more details can be found on our website

The Church School Festival is a great celebration for our Year 6s and Year 2s, as they leave the Church School Primary and Infant Family and move on to their next schools.  We are excited that, as part of the morning, not only will they spend time in the Cathedral and have a singing workshop, we are also able to utilise the Cathedral’s Discovery Centre. The Discovery Centre is an exciting hands-on exhibition providing an engaging interpretation of the Cathedral for school groups, children and families. We will then spend a short time in the afternoon having a celebration service before the end of the day.
