St Martin-in-the-Fields is a perfect venue for any kind of service or concert - especially when candlelit and on a cold winter's night - but it is really quite extraordinary during the festive period when it comes into its own with a generous dollop of Christmas carols and services. Located almost in the shadow of the towering Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree, St Martin-in-the-Fields offers a seasonal glow throughout December with a range of services and carols that would get even Scrooge singing O Come, All Ye Faithful! The line-up this year includes the Carols for Shelter, BBC Radio 4 Christmas Appeal, Carols by Candlelight and the Parish Carol Service on Christmas Eve. The church also gets involved in the Blessing of the Crib in Trafalgar Square - a dramatisation of the Christmas nativity with carols, music, prayer and a live donkey.
About St Martin-in-the-Fields
This historic church of St Martin-in-the-Fields overlooking Trafalgar Square was built in 1726 and is the best known work of Scottish architect James Gibbs whose first public building was St Mary-le-Strand. The Palladian features of St Martin-in-the-Fields reveal the influence of Gibbs' training under the leading Roman architect of the time, Carlo Fontana. More about St Martin-in-the-Fields
