You are welcome to join us for Choral Evensong which takes place nearly every day.

The jewel in the English choral tradition, the words of this service are largely unchanged in 500 years, but there has been a wealth of music composed for those words over the centuries.

Evensong at Bristol Cathedral includes anything from music composed in the 16th century, to music composed last year. The service lasts approximately 40 minutes (one hour on Sunday, to include a sermon, and additional hymn) and is the perfect way to end your day.

All are welcome.

Our service of Morning Prayer is live-streamed on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, from the home of one of our clergy.

The Said Lunchtime Eucharist (common worship) is a spoken service where the congregation are invited to join in with the responses written in the order of service.

This service is usually held in one of the side chapels and lasts around 30 minutes

The Eucharist is the main service of the week, the remembrance of the Last Supper.

During term-time the service is sung either by the Cathedral Choir or the Cathedral Consort, the Cathedral's youth choir.

All are welcome to attend this service. Please do say hello over coffee after the service!

At this special Choral Evensong, we welcome back former choristers, consort members, scholars, and lay clerks, to sing with us, or just attend the service.

Join us for a one day conference, dedicated to making church inclusive for everyone.

Following the success of a debut conference in March 2023, we are thrilled to announce an exciting line up of new speakers, bold topics, and workshops to Bristol Cathedral. This year’s event will be centred around racial inclusion, while also continuing to look at other groups who often face barriers between themselves and church. The day will be filled with a variety of engaging keynotes, panel discussions and workshops, as well as an opportunity to celebrate the Eucharist together and share experiences with fellow attendees.

Speakers and sessions will be announced soon!

The ticket price includes a delicious lunch cooked by the Square Food Foundation, a charity that works to reduce hunger, improve health, and bring people together through food and cooking.

Be courageous in advocating for one another and give space for the needs of each person to enable them to participate fully.
