Each year, as Christmas draws near, the community gathers at St Mary’s, Buckden, for the Annual Carol Service—a cherished tradition that brings together people from across the village and surrounding area.
Set within the beauty of St Mary’s, the service offers a peaceful and uplifting moment in the midst of the busy Christmas season. The church is gently lit, the sound of music fills the space, and a sense of anticipation and reflection begins to settle.
🎶 A service of word and song
The Carol Service weaves together:

well-loved Christmas carols, sung by all
contributions from the choir and musicians
readings from Scripture, telling the story of the Nativity
moments of stillness and reflection

Together, these elements create a service that is both joyful and reverent, drawing people into the heart of the Christmas story.
🌟 A gathering for the whole community
This is a service for everyone:

families, individuals, and visitors
those who attend church regularly
and those who come each year as part of this special tradition

Organised as part of the life of the local churches, the service reflects the strong sense of community and shared celebration in Buckden.
✨ A moment to pause
In the glow of candlelight and the familiar sound of carols, the Annual Carol Service offers something simple but profound—a chance to pause, to gather, and to prepare for Christmas together.
All are warmly invited to come and be part of this beautiful and much-loved occasion.
