About the Service

The Advent Carol Service is an important occasion in the liturgical calendar and a special part of the Johnian experience. Led by the Choir of St John’s College, the service marks the season of Advent through music and readings as we prepare for Christmas. Since the 1980s, Advent Carols from St John’s has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Doors open at 5pm, and all ticket holders must be seated by 6.15pm. Late entry and re-entry will not be permitted. The service will finish at approximately 7.30pm.

Please note that the service is not suitable for babies or toddlers.

If you are unable to attend, please contact Fraser Ryan at chapel@joh.cam.ac.uk so that your tickets can be reissued.
