Carol Service at St Mary Magdalene

St Mary Magdalene's annual Carol Service on Sunday 13 December at 7pm is a chance to sing well-known carols and hear the Christmas story told through readings. The church's community choir leads the singing, and mince pies and mulled wine are served afterwards. It is free and there is no booking: just arrive at the church on Moss Lane in Ashton on Mersey. The evening start suits older children best; families with younger ones may prefer the church's daytime Scratch Nativity on 20 December or the Christingle services on Christmas Eve.
