Eighty voices, from Byrd to Bob Chilcott, in the gallery and on the floor.

The city’s biggest community choir rehearses in the Vestry every Tuesday and sings in the Nave twice a year. This is one of the two: old songs and new, with the choir split between the gallery and the floor.

Before you come

Everything about your visit
When do the doors open?

At 19:00, for the foyer, the bar and The Nave. Seats are unreserved unless it says otherwise.

How long is it?

It starts at 19:30 and ends at about 21:15.

Is there a bar?

The Yard bar opens with the doors and through every interval: local beer and cider, wine, soft drinks and coffee. You can take drinks into the Nave in our glasses.

Can I bring children?

Yes, to anything without an age on its page. Under-fives come free to the Sunday at Four concerts and the family mornings, sitting on a lap.

What if I arrive late?

We let latecomers in at a suitable break, to the back of the hall or the gallery. For theatre that is the interval.
