Resuming Public worship after Covid-19 closure

We are very pleased that public worship commenced on Monday 6 July. Initially these will be the service times below. Please see below our risk assessment for the resumption of public worship at St Albans Cathedral.

Risk Assessment (PDF)

Church will look and feel a bit different as we ensure the safety of everyone. Please arrive early as it may take a little longer than usual to seat everyone in socially-distanced contact groups.

From Sunday 6 September, our Sunday services will revert to their pre-lockdown times below. We will continue to live stream our Sunday 11.15am Solemn Eucharist service on our YouTube channel. For more information, visit our live streaming page.

Service Schedule

Our usual schedule of services is listed below. All are welcome to attend these services, which are free to enter. You can also see the services for this month on our Service & Music List.

Occasionally, service times may change, so if you would like to double check service times prior to your visit, please email or call us on 01727 890210.
