Shoppers and visitors to Gloucester can enjoy bite-sized bursts of festive praise sung by the Cathedral this afternoon.
Choirs will perform on the hour until 4pm today.
At 1pm and 2pm, it's the turn of the Cathedral Junior Choir. They are boys and girls aged 8-13 who sing together on Saturday mornings and at one service per month in the Cathedral. The choir is free to join and no audition is necessary.
At 3pm and 4pm the Cathedral Choir will take over. Today's choir is the successor to the boys and monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, who sang for daily worship nine centuries ago.
During recent years the choir has sung regularly on BBC Radio 3 live broadcasts and is in demand for concerts and services nationwide.
Alongside the carol services from 10am to 4.30pm will be the Cathedral's first Christmas Market in the Cloisters and Chapter House. Over 30 stalls will be selling locally made crafts, Christmas cakes and chocolates, stained glass, jewellery and vintage collectibles. There will be festive refreshments for sale in the Chapter House.
The event is in association with The Citizen newspaper.
