Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at St. Paul’s Cathedral

This event has already passed

Can you imagine a more perfect way to usher in Christmas than attending the midnight mass at St. Paul's Cathedral?

You'll be sitting inside Christopher Wren's cathedral bathed in candlelight, listening to traditional carols and seasonal songs sung by the Cathedral Choir... and then walk home through the deserted city streets.

You don't have to be a practicing member of the church to attend the Eucharist. The congregation will be invited to share in the bread and wine, and if you normally receive communion in your own church you are welcome you to receive it here. Alternatively you can just go forward and receive a blessing instead.

Note: The mass is unticketed and completely free for all, but you should be aware that space in the cathedral is limited so you should try and arrive as early as possible. There is a chance that the cathedral may become full, and you don't want to be left outside at midnight.
