Visiting Choirs
We warmly welcome visiting choirs to sing at Cathedral services when the Cathedral Choir is not in residence.
Parish choirs, school and college choirs and professional ensembles from around the world all help us to uphold the highest musical standards in our worship.
Opportunities to sing
There are opportunities for visiting choirs to sing at the following times:
- Evensong on most Saturdays throughout the year
- during half-term holidays
- after the major feasts of Christmas and Easter
- during July and August
A list of available dates in 2026 and 2027 can be found below.
