Churches across south-east Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are hosting a range of festive activities this Christmas.
St Faith’s Church, Lee-on-the-Solent, will have a 'Peace and Joy' festival, including 'Rowdy Carols' and a 15-minute Nativity drama every 15 minutes throughout the Saturday.
Holy Rood Church, Stubbington, will have two Christmas family fun events on December 21.
On Christmas Eve at St Peter’s Church, Titchfield, join a family-friendly Crib Service from 4pm, where there is room for as many Marys, Josephs, shepherds, sheep, wise men and angels as turn up.
Portsmouth Cathedral will host four candlelit carol services from December 21 to 24 to cope with demand.
