It's not long now until we all come together to enjoy this year's Worcester News Carol Service.

The annual event will take place at Worcester Cathedral on Wednesday, December 20.

The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend - there is no need to get tickets beforehand.

Worcester News editor Stephanie Preece said: "We are very excited to be planning this year's service. It's always such a special event and one we very much look forward to sharing with our readers.

"For many the service marks the beginning of the festive period. A moment of calm to reflect and enjoy a traditional carol service in the most beautiful of surroundings, before the chaos begins.

"We hope you can join us."

The service starts at 6.30pm - please be seated by 6.20pm.
