Visiting Choirs

We invite you to lift your voices in our magnificent space as countless others have across more than nine centuries of music and worship at Chichester Cathedral. We are keen to hear from groups interested in singing on Wednesdays (the Cathedral Choir’s day off) and during school holidays. We are ideally suited for ensembles of up to 35 singers, but can accommodate more - please ask.

Our Guide for Visiting Choirs & Organists (available below) gives details of our services and rehearsal arrangements, along with key information around Safeguarding Contacts at the Cathedral and Safety Notices especially regarding the Emergency Exit to the Song School.  Please familiarise yourself with its contents before your arrival. Thank you.

To discuss the possibility of your choir coming to sing at the Cathedral and available dates, please contact the Liturgy & Music Coordinator: chris.george@chichestercathedral.org.uk or 01243 812488.
