A choir performs inside a historic chapel decorated for Christmas. A conductor stands at a wooden lectern in the centre of a black and white chequered aisle, directing singers dressed in white robes who stand on either side holding candles and sheet music. Two illuminated Christmas trees flank the ornate wooden altar at the back of the chapel, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.

Wren Chapel

Wren’s baroque chapel sits at the heart of his original buildings and is a rare example of his pure ecclesiastical style, retaining the original wainscoting, pews and plasterwork. It is a perfect setting for atmospheric Christmas carol services, concerts and music recitals, with the Royal Hospital’s professional choir available for events. Sebastiano Ricci’s mural The Resurrection creates a stunning backdrop to this beautiful space.
