An intimate afternoon of magical music took place at Brentwood Cathedral on Sunday 9^th December.

The service was introduced by Father David Gilchrist. The electric lights were dimmed and replaced with candlelight, creating an intimate Christmas atmosphere.

The Festival Service of Nine Lessons and Carols was conducted by David Taylor, Second Master and David Pickthall, Director of Music. Special thanks to the Bishop of Brentwood and the Dean for welcoming Brentwood School.

Carols were sung beautifully by Brentwood School Choir and the congregation joined in with much enthusiasm.   The programme included a selection of traditional and modern carols, such as ‘Ding Dong Merrily on High' and ‘Good King Wenceslas'.
