No one likes the idea of ticketing for any service in church, especially for the major celebrations.
However due to the necessary rules and restrictions incurred to combat the Covid19 virus, it is essential that we make sure that attending church this Christmas is safe for everyone and so, to ensure that we do not over fill our churches, we are ticketing this year’s Christmas Services.
All tickets are free!! Please check further down the page for service times and ticket booking options.
There is no charge for the tickets, its just a way of monitoring attendance.
There is a legal limit as to how many people may attend a service, and once all available tickets have been allocated, we will not be allowed to admit any further congregation.
To be certain of obtaining a ticket please register at the earliest available opportunity.
How do I acquire tickets?
- Tickets for all our Christmas services are available through the Worship page of our Benefice website.
- After deciding which service you wish to attend, click on the BOOK YOUR PEW button. This will give you a menu of available seating options.
- Please choose the ticket that best matches your household/bubble. This will enable us to fit in as many people as we legally and safely can.
- You will be asked for contact details, should we need to contact you, and for Test and Trace purposes.
- At the end of the process the Ticket is confirmed and downloaded for you to keep and/or print out.
Should you be unable to access the website to obtain tickets, then please either, ask a friend for help, or ring the Priest in Charge, who will be happy to help.
If you know of someone who would like to attend church this Christmas but is unlikely to receive email communications, or see a website, do please print and pass this message on.
Should you, due to unforeseen circumstances, be unable to use your ticket, then please let us know.

The Church of Englands Comfort and Joy
The Church of England has a page on their website with details of their National online services streaming dates and the option to sign up for their free Advent and Christmas email reflections. At the bottom of that page, there is also a video that we think you will enjoy entitled Comfort and Joy with British Sign Language.
