On Sunday night, like many churches around the city, Christ Church Upper Armley band and choir led Christmas Carols at their local pub, the Traveller’s Rest.
It was standing room only at the inn, and if there was a stable, it would probably have been full too.
Long a favourite resting place in Upper Armley, the Traveller’s Rest showed a little more hospitality than the Inn keeper in the nativity, making space for a full house enjoying Christmas festivities.
The Reverend Phil Arnold said: “This is the second time it has taken place and this year it followed the Manchester derby on the TV at 6.30pm: a great example of how Christmas opens a door for the Christian faith to engage with mainstream culture.”
Over burgers and beer, people sang carols of worship.
