Christmas at
Kerith Bracknell!
Join us on Sunday, 7th December at Kerith Bracknell for Christmas festivities. There will be hot food and drinks, carol services, animals, crafts, stalls and much more!
2:45 pm: Outdoor fun begins!
3:30 pm: Sparklers Carols - A fun carol service with singing and storytelling, perfect for little ones, aged 0-5 and their families.
4:30 pm: Families Carols - An interactive service unpacking the Christmas story and lively carols for children aged 5–11 and their families.
6:30 pm: Evening Carols - A highlight in our year with familiar carols, Bible readings and an inspiring message of Christmas hope.
Book tickets for one of the Carol services and arrive a good 30/45 minutes before so you can experience our outdoor events before you head in. While there are slots available, you can also book our family Nativity Trail with your carols ticket.
Please note, the animals will only be available from 3pm - 5:30pm.

The Big Christmas Lunch
Sunday 21st December - 11:30 am - 12:45 pm
On the 21st of December, our 9:30 morning meeting will run as usual, but instead of the 11:30 meeting — whether you’re a regular at the 9:30 or at the 11:30 — we’ll all gather for a bring-and-share Christmas lunch in the auditorium. This is a chance for our community to celebrate together, as we bring and share our beloved Christmas dishes that represent our diverse cultures and traditions.

The Christmas Experience event is free, including the carol services and nativity journey.

In short, yes! We ask people to book into the Christmas Experience to give us an idea of expected numbers at the event. But, if you have not booked in, you are still welcome to come. Each of our venues has a capacity and once we are at capacity we will stop allowing bookings for that event, and make it known via the Kerith website that it is sold out (we make provisions for those who come without booking). You do not need to bring your e-ticket/confirmation with you on the night. However, we do advise you to only book into the event if you know that you will be attending.
