The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols has been defining Christmas for over a century, famously brought to life by the BBC’s first broadcast from King’s College in 1928. Experience it in person, not just as a radio tradition, but as a living moment of joy and reflection.
Exceptional choral music takes centre stage in this celebrated service, set within the truly atmospheric surroundings of one of Edinburgh’s architectural gems.
