Carols for All with Gloucester Choral Society

Friday 26 December 2025, 3pm

It wouldn’t be a GCS Christmas without our annual excuse to wear Christmas jumpers and shiny headgear, all while singing carols old and new, in Gloucester Cathedral. 

Carols for All is a free event for all the family, with a retiring collection in support of Gloucester Cathedral's In Tune Campaign, which will unlock musical potential and opportunity across the city, county and diocese.

All are welcome - there is no booking required, but seats will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so we advise arriving in good time.

    We are sorry that due to limited space, parking in the Cathedral Close is restricted to pass holders only.

    There are eight disabled parking spaces which are for use by Blue Badge holders on a first come first served basis.

    However, there are several public car parks within easy walking distance of the Cathedral.

  • Arriving by Public Transport

    The Cathedral is located in Gloucester Town Centre, so the best way to get here is by public transport.
