As the Anglican Cathedral in the capital city, Llandaff Cathedral holds a variety of special services that mark significant feasts in the Church year, or which are of civic importance both locally and nationally.

Upcoming Services

A Sequence of Readings, Music and Prayers for Advent

Sunday 3^rd December | 5.30pm

Candles are gradually lit to illuminate the Cathedral, as we embrace the hope of Advent. Featuring beautiful music sung by the Cathedral Choir and traditional readings from scripture, this is a dramatic and beautiful service that centres around bringing light to the darkness, but the service also captures an idea that is central to our keeping of Advent: the recognition that the beautiful world in which we live is marred by our human wilfulness, greed and violence.

The light that shines in the darkness of the Church represents the light of Jesus Christ shining in our dark world. That light dispels the darkness, but not without showing up the dark places of our world, and of our lives. The light of Christ sees us as we are; it judges all, but it is also the illumination and the warmth, the guiding light, which leads us from darkness into light.

Please be seated by 5.15pm.
