About This Event
Join York Minster’s worship to mark the start of Advent with an atmospheric and breath-taking candlelit service of music, readings and prayers, in celebration and anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.
New for 2026, there will be two Advent Procession services.The first service will take place on Saturday 28 November, and the second on Sunday 29 November. The Sunday service will also be live-streamed via the York MinsterYouTubechannel and on the York Minster website so you can enjoy the service from the comfort of your own home.
The service, which will include music from the Choir of York Minster, starts in darkness before a single flame is used to spread light through the cathedral, with candles held by each member of the congregation.
We want as many people to join our Advent and Christmas worship as possible.
Free, in-person tickets will be available via the York Minster website or by calling 01904 557200 from 10am on Tuesday 10 November for the first service and from 10am on Thursday 12 November for the second service.
