Don’t miss one of our annual highlights! In what has become a traditional start to the Advent season at STB, our very own Anglican Consort will be singing an Advent Carol Service on Sunday, 30 November at 19.00. It is a meditative and reflective way to begin the journey towards Christmas, and the music – sung this year by upper voices only – will be a feast for the senses. And yes, there are carols for the congregation to sing, too!

Our chaplaincy magazine, Becket News, is out in a new edition with lots of news from the chaplaincy and beyond, including a look ahead to what’s coming up in Advent and over Christmas. Read it online or download it here.

December 13 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

An evening of music, from Baroque to musical – from folk to Christmas, in aid of the Anglican Church of St Thomas à Becket. With Darlene Dobisch, Mardon & Vaughn, Petter Bjallö, Christian Sach, Collegium Musicum and Jon Mortimer. Tickets €20 adults, €18 concessions, free entry for children up to 16. Click here for the flyer. Tickets available here.

It’s that time of year again! We kick off the Advent season on 30 November with an Advent Carol Service sung by our very own Anglican Consort. Other favourites follow, such as Carols and Cakes on 6 December, the Nativity Play performed by Junior Church, and of course Nine Lessons and Carols sung by our Sunday Choir, both on 21 December. You can find details of all special services and events in our flyer – view or download here, We hope to see you.

We have been producing Christmas cards by recycling used cards in aid of the historic English Church of St Thomas à Becket for over 30 years. For several years now, we have offered online ordering alongside physical sales. The double cards, complete with envelopes, are 148 x 110 mm and have a Christmas and New Year greeting in English and German. They cost €15 for 10 cards and can be ordered online using this form or bought at various events, including the Church Bazaar, giving you the opportunity to choose your motifs personally.
