Carols by Candlelight 2023

Traditional carols. A brilliant brass band. Mince pies and singing, refreshments and festivity.

You’re invited to the National Churches Trust annual Carols by Candlelight concert on Thursday 14 December, 7pm-9pm at Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, London. 

Be transported into a winter wonderland with your favourite festive carols, as well as music and readings from Michael Palin, Alexander Armstrong, Joe Stilgoe and Bill Bryson. We are delighted to announce that the concert will be hosted by comedian and actor Tim Vine.

You may recognise Grosvenor Chapel from Richard Curtis’ hit Christmas film, Love Actually. This elegant church presents an outwardly simple design of brick and stone edging, with a church steeple and a clock in the centre. But inside this 18th century wonder, you’ll find a stunning mainly white interior and an 18th century-style organ. 

Tickets cost £35 (+ booking fee) and include refreshments. All the proceeds will go towards keeping churches in the UK open and in use. On the night, you’ll hear more from the National Churches Trust on how we’ve been able to help protect the UK’s historic churches, to keep them open today and tomorrow, and for generations to come. 

Do join us – and invite your friends – the more the merrier. We look forward to seeing you there.
