The Service of Choral Evensong usually takes place each Sunday at 3.30pm, making for a peaceful and prayerful start to the week. It lasts for approximately 45 minutes, blending the much-loved traditional liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer (1662) with a rich repertoire of English Church music.

In accordance with Government and Church of England guidelines, the service is currently sung by a reduced Abbey choir. We have a very much reduced seating capacity to adhere to physical distancing, so please book a free ticket via Eventbrite.
