We have a keen band of bellringers that practices on a Thursday evening. They play for all 9.00am services and other services throughout the year. The bellringers are very welcoming to newcomers and St. Andrew's is a recognised Training Centre for bellringing.
We hold occasional concerts throughout the year. These are always advertised on our website.
Our organ was installed in 2014 and is a world-class instrument. We have a number of organists who play for us. We also hold regular organ recitals.
We use the BCP every Sunday at 8.00am. We average 25-40 people in attendance. The service has a sermon and lasts approximately 50 minutes.
We have a regular choir every Sunday (except during August). They number 8-10 each week. The choir leads the hymns and also sings Anthems each week during 9.00am Communion. There are occasional Introits sung at Festivals. The choir is augmented by visiting singers for our Carols by Candlelight service each Christmas.
