Bradford Cathedral is confirmed as the location for BBC 1’s Christmas Day Service in celebration of Bradford as the UK’s City of Culture in 2025.
On Thursday 25th December starting at 10am, Bradford Cathedral will host BBC1’s Christmas Day service.
The service will be a traditional Christmas celebration of carols and readings, live from Bradford Cathedral. It will be led by the Very Revd Andy Bowerman, Dean of Bradford, alongside the Revd Henriette Howarth, Canon for Congregational Life.
Bradford Cathedral’s Choir, led by the new Organist and Director of Music Geoffrey Woollatt, will join the congregation in a host of well loved carols. William Campbell, Sub-Organist and Assistant Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral, will be playing the organ, and the congregation can look forward to O Come All Ye Faithful, and Hark, the Herald Angels Sing as hymns.
Please note the start time of 10am, rather than 10:30am which is usual for Bradford Cathedral’s Sunday services. The service is not ticketed, and the congregation is advised to arrive early, at 9:30am or before, as seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
