As we prepare for Christmas all the churches in Ilkley have been busy with carol and advent services.
Next week there are many opportunities for everyone to come and celebrate Christmas at a variety of services. Many offer Carols by Candlelight while others offer the familiar Christingle or Crib Services that are particularly suitable for children and families.
Listed below are all the services offered in the week before Christmas by churches in Ilkley. More details can be found at the individual church websites or at https://www.facebook.com/churchestogetherinilkley
