The Evening Hour is a quiet, reflective service with readings, prayers and music which takes place in the North Transept of Hereford Cathedral on the second Sunday of the month.

The service focuses on prayer for healing and wholeness, and those attending may bring concerns for healing for themselves, for someone they care for, or for the wider world in which we live. The Evening Hour takes place in a circle around a candle, and readings or reflections are shared by those leading the service. There is also the option to join in with a Taize chant or well-known hymn for those who wish to.
