THE annual Milford Haven Crib Service will again take place on Christmas Eve.

It will take place around the crib in the Memorial Gardens, and will start at 4pm.

The service depicts the ‘true meaning of Christmas’ and, as the story of the nativity unfolds, the children present will place the holy statues into the crib.

The service will be conducted by the Vicar of St Katharine and St Peters Church, Father Harri Williams, and Milford Haven Town Band will provide music.

If the weather is bad, the service will be held in the church.

Afterwards, sweets and goodies will be provided for the children.

Midnight mass with blessing of the crib will take place at 11.30pm.

On Christmas Day, low mass will be at 8am, and at 10pm there will be a family mass with presents for children.
