Christmas at St Bartholomew's
We're delighted to welcome all of Edgbaston, and beyond, to come together and celebrate the wonder of Christmas with us.
Whether it’s our traditional Carols by Candlelight service, the organised chaos of our Christmas Eve Crib Service, or breakfast, carols and the Christmas story for all the family on Christmas Day, we really hope there’ll be something for everyone.
We hope you can join us! Scroll down for more details.
