Broadcast at 3pm on Christmas Eve, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols provides a precious moment of tranquillity amongst the bustle of the festive season.

Accompanied by lyrics and music and compiled in conjunction with Radio 4 and King s College Chapel, Carols From King s is the official companion for fans of Christmas and carols alike.
