During this special time of year, we welcome all to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
There are many special services throughout the season starting with Advent Procession at the start of December and continuing to Christmas Day services, before we enter into the season of Epiphany and Candlemas.
We hope during this time you will join us for a traditional service, hear choral music sung by the Choirs of Durham Cathedral, experience Christmas concerts, or bring the family for a winter day out in the atmospheric cathedral.
