Join this year's NHS Carol Service being held on Tuesday 17 December at Durham Cathedral, with doors opening at 6.45pm for the service at 7.30pm.
The service provides an opportunity each year for colleagues past and present, of all faith and backgrounds, to come together in an event held in the magnificent surroundings of Durham Cathedral.
No tickets are needed to attend, simply come along. Everyone from NHS organisations from across the region are invited along with their family and friends.
Our NHS choir, brought together especially for this event, will help lead the celebrations for which promises to be a very special festive evening. The service lasts approximately one hour.
On the day a collection will be held in aid of the Great North Air Ambulance.

About Durham Cathedral
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Durham Cathedral is one of the most recognisable places of worship in the UK. It gained international recognition when the Cathedral was used as a location for the Harry Potter and Marvel film franchises. (The history bit!) The Cathedral is a Norman building built between 1093 and 1133 founded as a monastic cathedral built to house the shrine of St Cuthbert, replacing an earlier church constructed in his honour.
