About
Two family-friendly crib services at Chichester Cathedral on Christmas Eve, with carols and the building of the Christmas crib.
Chichester Cathedral holds two crib services on Christmas Eve, at 11am and 2pm, in which the Christmas story unfolds through carols as the crib is built. The services are designed for children, young people and their caregivers, though all are welcome. Children may dress up as Nativity characters such as angels, shepherds and animals if they wish, and seating is first-come, first-served with no booking required.
