Town Mayor, Councillor Geoff Watson, hosted the service that included readings and a variety of musical performances.
He said: “This is one of my favourite events of the year. The carols and readings combined to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas and spread the message of goodwill to all. Thank you to everyone who conributed and made it a beautiful service.”
The popular civic event was attended by local dignitaries, representatives of local groups, local councillors and residents.
The service was led by Rev Christian Mitchell, the organist was Linden Innes-Hopkins, carols were performed by pupils of St Paul’s RC Primary School, The Bridge Singers and soloist Viktoriia Rekun.
Readings were given by Councillors Alan Symmonds, John Humphries and Gordon Castle with the Mayor giving a seasonal address.
A collection was taken in aid of Alnwick Christmas Lights and following the service refreshments were served by Alnwick Town Council.
