Experience a Christmas tradition with its roots right here in Truro. The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols , now celebrated in Anglican churches around the world, was originally devised by the first Bishop of Truro . Today, the tradition continues at Truro Cathedral , offering visitors the opportunity to experience this historic Christmas service in the city where it began. Through a sequence of Bible readings and carols, the service tells the story of Christmas within the atmospheric setting of Truro Cathedral. All are welcome to attend. For those unable to be there in person, the service will also be live-streamed on Truro Cathedral’s YouTube channel at 7.00pm , with a recording available to watch afterwards. A Christmas Tradition That Began in Truro The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols has become part of Christmas celebrations across the world, but its connection with Truro gives the service a particularly special significance for the city. For visitors spending Christmas in Truro, it is an opportunity to experience an important part of the city’s heritage while enjoying one of the season’s most enduring traditions in the surroundings of Truro Cathedral.
