Civic Carol Service

The Town Mayor of Thatcham hosts the annual Civic Carol Service at St Mary’s Church on a Sunday afternoon in mid December.

Barfield Handbell Ringers play as people take their seats. The Rector and Mayor’s Chaplain lead the service with the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, senior pupils from Kennet and Trinity, and representatives from the Mayor’s Charities taking part. The congregation is invited to join in with a number of carols and there are performances from the Handbell Ringers and the Church Choir.

A collection is held in aid of the Mayor’s Charities and after the service everyone is welcome to join the Mayor for refreshments.

Details of this year’s service can be found on the Carol Service page.
