Candlelit procession

-

You are invited to Glendaloug­h on Tuesday, December 18, at 7.30 p.m. for a unique event to celebrate Christmas.

Beginning with a candlelit procession through the monastic gates, you will proceed to the ruins of the candlelit Cathedral for an evening of traditiona­l carol singing in the monastic style.

Some of our most familiar carols would have been sung here by the monks of Glendaloug­h themselves in the eighth and ninth centuries.

Tea and coffee will be provided afterwards in the Glendaloug­h Hotel courtesy of Pat Casey.

This a free event and open to everyone, including children, which must be accompanie­d by an adult. Assemble in the Glendaloug­h Hotel car park at 7.15 p.m. Wrap up warm and bring your own lantern/torch and singing voice.
