Christmas 2026

Welcome and wonder…

28th November - 6th January 2027
Christmas Tree Festival
during Priory opening hours

Everyone’s welcome to share in the wonder of the real Christmas at Great Malvern Priory.

We think there’s something for everyone - from the joy of Messy Church and the Gingerbread Nativity, through Carol Services, Christingles and Midnight Parish Communion to the peaceful simplicity of mid week Compline, and much, much, more.

Come along and experience Advent and Christmas, all the way through to Epiphany, on 3rd January, when we celebrate the arrival of the wise men.

Please note that both the Christmas Carol Service on 20th December and the Christingle Services on 23rd and 24th December are ticketed entry only. Free tickets are available through the link. They hold unreserved seating until 15 minutes before each service, after which those waiting without a ticket may be admitted
