ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS

This Advent, we're filling Edinburgh New Town Church with stars, music and moments that matter. Inspired by the star of Bethlehem and its message of hope, our Star Festival brings people together in the heart of the city. Throughout December, there's something for everyone, from beautiful choral music, carols and Christmas services to storytelling, family activities and quiet moments of reflection. Whether you're a familiar face or stepping through our doors for the first time, we'd love you to be part of it.

Christmas means different things to different people. For some, it's a time of joy and celebration. For others, it can be a more difficult season. Here, there's room for both. Come and enjoy the music, discover the Christmas story, make a star, share a moment of peace or simply take a break from the bustle of George Street. Our doors are open, our welcome is warm, and there's always a place for you.
