All our welcome to join this Advent themed celebration of the 350th anniversary of the day that Christopher Wren's vision for St Bride's opened for public worship in December 1675.
The rebuilding of St Bride's Church from the ashes of the Great Fire of London was a triumph of hope over despair.
This story of regeneration and renewal reflects the themes of Advent – that time in the church's calendar when we look towards Christmas and the hope that even in dark, uncertain times, light, love, and renewal are still possible.
St Bride's has survived the intervening centuries – enduring the bombing raids of WWII and the pollution of our modern world – as a beacon of hope for better times for all that enter within its walls.
MUSIC
The musical and spoken content for this event will weave together the Advent themes of hope and renewal with the story of Wren's great masterplan for the rebuilding of St Bride's and the composers whose music has resounded within its walls since it opened.
