At 2pm and 3.30pm, the Writtle Road venue will hold the candle-lit services which will see names of loved ones read out.

Carols will be sung with the St John Payne School choir performing in the first service and soloist Kathryn Harris in the next.

An offering will be taken for the Mayor’s charity J’s Hospice and seasonal refreshments will be served in the North Chapel.
