Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of this popular, atmospheric concert.
Join us in the beautiful surrounds of Coventry Cathedral where hushed anticipation and spellbinding seasonal music fills the air, and the choir is enveloped in the soft glow of candlelight.
Ex Cathedra perform a seamless sequence of Christmas favourites, little-known gems and gorgeous new music, interspersed with a selection of readings, to explore the magic, mystery – and humour – of the season.
Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
Refreshments will be available to purchase.
