King's College Chapel

King's College Chapel plays a central role in College life, as well as being the most instantly recognizable and iconic building in Cambridge. In addition to being a place of daily worship during term-time, it is where new students matriculate, where Fellows are admitted, and where the Choir performs concerts and records music for our own record label. We broadcast A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols live on radio to millions worldwide every Christmas and every year we pre-record new television services for both Christmas and Easter.

Who's Who

Meet the Dean, Chaplain and other members of the team who play an important role in the life and upkeep of the Chapel.
