The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a beloved tradition celebrated in Brecon Cathedral each December. This service combines scripture readings that tell the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus Christ, with the singing of carols and hymns by the Cathedral choir. It is a time for reflection, joy, and community gathering during the Christmas season. The festival invites worshippers and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the rich narrative of Advent and Christmas, in the beautiful surroundings of our historic Cathedral.
