Scroll below for all the Christmas events at Arun Church. 👇
This service isn’t just about remembering a story that happened long ago — it’s about stepping into it. Not as grown-ups with our worries and lists and what-ifs, but as children — wide-eyed, curious, ready to be amazed.
Join us for an hour of carols, songs, LIVE Nativity and a family-friendly talk to celebrate the reason for the season!
There will be something for everyone, so come with child-like excitment and wonder.
Festive refreshments are served before the service, so grab a drink and sweet treats from 5:30pm. The service starts at 6pm.
Entry is via the Hill Road entrance for the event.
The morning is open to everyone and free to attend, so come along for kids Christmas crafts, face painting, temporary tattoos, Christmas stalls, refreshments, and of course, a chance to see Santa!
Entry to the event is free, but tickets for children (Under 11 only) to see Santa must be booked in advance. (Tickets available here soon).
After the success last year, we are opening a quiet session for the first hour, 9am-10am. This session is designed to take the stress and anxiety out of the event and Santa visits for children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), and their families. (Tickets available here soon).
Join us for an hour of traditional carols sung by candlelight around the piano. A chance to gather, sing and thank God for his goodness at this festive time of year and belt those Christmas classics!
Refresh coffee shop will be open from 7pm for drinks and festive refreshments. Doors to the hall open at 7:30pm.
Please note that seating will be limited, with plenty of standing space available. We will make these available to those less able to stand first. If capacity is reached, we will also have space in the coffee shop area, which will also be less crowded, where you are able to hear the music live and see the words on the screen too.
Join us at The Littlehampton Academy for a short service celebrating the birth of Jesus together. Children are encouraged to bring and show a gift they've received.
Entry is via the Hill Road entrance only (no refreshments).
We'll be taking a break and there will be no service at The Littlehampton Academy on Sunday 28th December. We'll be back as usual on Sunday 4th January 2026.
