Venue: 
St Andrew's Church, Alphington Road, Exeter

This year sees the tenth anniversary of Exeter’s Swedish St Lucia Procession, a traditional Scandinavian midwinter celebration of light and song first brought to the city by local folk singer Rosa Rebecka from her homeland of Sweden in 2004.

In the decade since, the celebration has grown from strength to strength, with Rosa’s Scandinavian choir, ExeSwedes, and friends singing traditional Sankta Lucia songs in pubs, theatres, churches, and even Exeter cathedral.

This year's Lucia procession will be held at St Andrew’s Church on Alphington Road on 6.30pm Saturday 13th...
