FAQs

Christmas services and events

Do I need to book or can I just turn up?

Firstly, you’re really welcome! Many of our Christmas events do need booking, and they will sell out, so get in there as soon as you can. All our major celebrations held in the church are free, with no booking required. Check the details of the event or celebration you’d like to attend for more information.

What is a celebration, and what kind of church are you?

We call our services ‘celebrations’. It doesn’t mean they’re any different to the services you might know; we just use different language! We’re a vibrant, modern church where most things are fairly free and chilled out, but we’re also big on production value and doing things well.

I don’t usually go to church. Can I still come along?

Absolutely! You don’t need to be a regular churchgoer, know any prayers or have any previous experience of church. Whether you’re exploring faith, curious about Christmas or simply looking for somewhere to celebrate, you’ll be very welcome.

What should I expect when I arrive?

You can expect a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere. Our heart will be to worship God, enjoy the celebrations and reflect on the meaning of Christmas. Our team will be happy to help if you have any questions when you arrive.

Are children and families welcome?

Yes! Christmas is a wonderful time for the whole family to come together. We’d love to welcome children, parents, grandparents and carers to our Christmas celebrations. Check the individual event details to find out which activities are especially suitable for families. Usually, if ‘family’ or ‘kids’ is in the name, it’s perfect for all the family!

What should I wear?

Whatever you feel comfortable in! There’s no dress code, so come as you are. Whether you prefer your Christmas jumper, your everyday clothes or something a little smarter, you’ll fit right in.

Will I need to sing or take part in anything?

We always say it’s more fun when you do, but there’s no pressure at all. You’re welcome to join in with the carols and anything else you’d like to, or you can simply sit back, stand occasionally and enjoy the experience.

Is there parking, and is the venue accessible?

We don’t have much parking at Trinity. There’s a large paid NCP car park right opposite the church, plus free parking up by Pittville Park. Each venue is slightly different in terms of access, so if you have specific access requirements, please get in touch before your visit so we can help.

Can I come on my own?

Of course! You don’t need to bring anyone with you. Whether you come alone, with friends, as a couple or with your family, you’ll be made very welcome. Christmas can be a time when people particularly value connection, and we’d love you to be part of our celebrations.

What if I have questions before I come along?

We’d love to hear from you! If you’re unsure which event to attend, need more information or have a question we haven’t answered here, please get in touch. We’ll be happy to help.
