A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King’s College Chapel is broadcast around the world every Christmas Eve, and you can be in the chapel for the 24 December 2026 service for nothing.
There is no longer a public queue: tickets are complimentary and allocated through an online ballot. Applications close at 9am on 16 November 2026 and successful applicants are notified on 20 November.
Only ballot winners can attend, so apply early and be ready for a cold wait outside the chapel on the day. If you miss out, the service is broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 and later on BBC Two.
