Visiting Choirs
Bath Abbey welcomes
Visiting Choirs to sing Sunday services (at 11.00 am and
3.30 pm)
at times when the
Abbey Choir is on holiday. These times usually include:
- One or two
Sundays after Christmas
- One or two
Sundays after Easter
- Approximately
Seven Sundays over the second half of July, and
August
- One or two
Sundays to coincide with local school half-term
holidays i.e.
- mid February
- end of May
- end of
October
Most choirs like to
come for the whole weekend and sing Choral Evensong on
the Saturday.
Early booking is
advisable as the Abbey gets heavily booked by other
local organisations for concerts etc.
Visiting Choirs are
given use of the Choir Vestry in which to rehearse and
robe.
The Abbey’s
magnificent Klais Organ provides a versatile, colourful
and stimulating accompaniment to choral
and congregational
music. New wooden screens behind the choir stalls have
created a more friendly acoustic
environment for
singers.
Availability

following Sundays are available:
