Kids will love this! This festive fun Helter Skelter is lit up in gorgeous Christmas lights with Christmas songs playing, creating the perfect soundtrack for kids to have fun and burn off some energy while you stand by and sip a mulled wine and grab a bite to eat (the food and drink hut is right beside it). This will be there every day until December 24 and is located outside Barclays Bank in St George's Street. Find out more about the Helter Skelter and the Christmas Market HERE

Our main Cathedral Carol Services are one of the highlights of the Cathedral’s year. Music and readings tell the story of the birth of Christ in an atmospheric service with candlelight. Music is provided by all parts of our world-famous Cathedral Choir: boy choristers, girl choristers, and lay clerks, and by the singing of the traditional Christmas carols by the congregation. The service lasts between one and a quarter and one and a half hours. This the first of two identical services. Both are un-ticketed and seated on a first come first seated basis. If a member of your party requires additional arrangements to enable them to enjoy the service (such as a wheelchair space, or space for an assistance animal, etc.), please contact our Events Office via events@canterbury-cathedral.org prior to the service, and they will be happy to assist. All are welcome. Doors open at 18.30.
