Visiting choirs

When the Cathedral Choir and Abbey Girls' Choir are on leave, the Cathedral welcomes visiting choirs from the around the country and abroad to help maintain a regular pattern of choral services.

Available dates for Visiting Choirs usually coincide with school holidays and half-terms. The Diary is planned at least a year in advance, but it is always worth contacting us at any time to discuss availability.

We do ask Visiting Choirs to provide a recording in advance, especially prior to their first visit here.
