On Christmas Day, churches across Wokingham Borough – including Arborfield, Barkham, Beech Hill, Earley, Lower Earley, Finchampstead, Hurst, Shinfield, Swallowfield, Twyford, Wargrave, Wokingham and Woodley – will be celebrating the events of the first Christmas.
Services tend to be family friendly, short and packed with carols. There will usually be a spot to allow children (and the young at heart) to show their favourite festive gifts.
Here we list the special services taking place on Christmas Day across Wokingham in 2018.
