The Carol Service - the Festival of Nine Lessons with Carols (and Homily) - is one of the highlights of the University year, when the glorious choir of the University Singers is augmented by a combined student choir, under the baton of the Director of Music, Mr. Noel G. Dexter. This Service is usually held on the second Sunday in December, at 7:00 p.m. and attracts a congregation of several hundred.
