A joyful celebration of Christmas, this year’s service will recognise all those who work to support babies, young children and families in communities across the UK. Spearheaded by the Princess and supported by The Royal Foundation, the service will highlight the importance of building supportive, nurturing environments for children and the adults in their lives.

Among the inspiring individuals invited to the Abbey in recognition of the work they do to help the youngest members of society to flourish will be midwives, health visitors, early years practitioners, nursery teachers and community volunteers.
Combining traditional and modern elements, the service will see the world-renowned Abbey choir perform some of the nation’s best-loved carols, alongside musical performances by guests including Beverley Knight, Adam Lambert, Jacob Collier, Freya Ridings and James Bay.
