Sunday Choral Evensong

Every Sunday at for 45 mins
Please note that this event will not be taking place on the following dates: 23 Aug 2026, 30 Aug 2026
St Margaret's, Ilkley
Queens Road Ilkley, LS29 9QL, United Kingdom

This is the traditional service of Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, with readings from the Bible, prayers, and a short talk from one of the church ministers. Most of the service is sung by the choir, with the congregation joining in prayerfully, and joining in with the hymns. This is the service Cathedrals are best-known for.

On special holy days Evensong concludes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament - a time of prayer in the presence of Christ in the blessed bread of the Eucharist. It is very beautiful.

Please note there is no Choral Evensong in August, the choir holiday month.
