Hotels near St Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Carols & Services

St Martin-in-the-Fields is a perfect venue for any kind of service or concert - especially when candlelit and on a cold winter's night - but it is really quite extraordinary during the festive period when it comes into its own with a generous dollop of Christmas carols and services. Located almost in the shadow of the towering Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree, St Martin-in-the-Fields offers a seasonal glow throughout December with a range of services and carols that would get even Scrooge singing O Come, All Ye Faithful! The line-up this year includes Festive Family Carols by Candlelight, string soloists with the Locrian Ensemble, the Complete Brandenburg Concertos at Christmas which sells out each year while services include the Parish Carol Service and midnight mass on Christmas Eve. The church also gets involved with the Lighting of the Christmas Tree and the Blessing of the Crib in Trafalgar Square - a dramatisation of the Christmas nativity with carols, music, prayer and a live donkey.
