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

You are welcome to join us for Choral Evensong during term time, and Evening Prayer during school half term. On Thursdays, Evening Prayer takes place every week.
A jewel of the English choral tradition, the words of this service have remained largely unchanged for 500 years, while composers have created a wealth of music to bring them to life.
At Bristol Cathedral, the music ranges from 16th-century compositions to pieces written last year. The service lasts around 40 minutes and is a peaceful way to end your day.

All are welcome to this Choral Eucharist, which recalls Jesus’ final night with his disciples and arrest in the garden of Gethsemane. The service will include the symbolic ritual of foot washing and stripping of the altars.

Followed by the Watch until midnight

Join us at Bristol Cathedral for Meditations at the Cross, the first part of our Good Friday service. This reflective service offers a quiet space to think about the meaning of Christ’s death. It moves gently through readings, short reflections, hymns, and periods of silence. The congregation is invited to sing these hymns, and Canon Neil’s reflections explore the imagery in the words and how themes of loss, pain, and grief are met by God in the Cross of Christ. Visitors are welcome to join at any point, and stewards will help late arrivals enter quietly so the calm is maintained.

This service begins the three-hour Good Friday worship, reflecting the hours that Jesus spent on the cross. It gives time for personal prayer, contemplation, and engaging with the story of the Crucifixion. Meditations on the Cross leads directly into the Liturgy of the Lord’s Death, forming a continuous three-hour service.

All are welcome to stay for all or part of this service.

You are welcome to join us for Evensong or Evening Prayer on Saturdays and Sundays. These services feature beautiful music and prayer, offering a calm and reflective way to end the day.
On Saturdays, the service will take place at 3.30pm, moving to 5.15pm from Saturday 7 March 2026. On Sundays, the service begins at 3.30pm.
All are welcome to share in the singing, listening, and reflection, whether you are familiar with the tradition or visiting for the first time.

Join us for the Easter Vigil, lighting of the Easter fire, baptisms, confirmations and the first Eucharist of Easter as we celebrate The Resurrection of Our Lord

Join us as we continue to celebrate the resurrection of Christ in this Holy Eucharist.

The Good Friday service continues with the Liturgy of the Lord’s Death, the second part of the three-hour worship. This service is unique in the Christian year, bringing together readings, music, reflection, and prayer to help us understand the meaning of Jesus’ death on the cross. It begins with a solemn introduction during which the clergy lie flat on the floor, followed by readings. The Passion narrative is then sung by the Cathedral Choir.

The Dean will lead the Liturgy of the Lord’s Death, with a final reflection from Canon Neil, building on those in the Meditations.

A large cross is then brought into the Cathedral, forming the centre for music, prayer, and silent reflection. There is then the opportunity to receive Holy Communion. The service concludes as the cross is carried out and the congregation is invited to venerate it in silence while leaving.

Together with Meditations at the Cross, this service forms a continuous three-hour Good Friday worship, reflecting the hours Jesus spent on the cross and offering both quiet reflection and shared prayer.

All are welcome to stay for all or part of these services.

Easter Day concludes with this joyful Festal Evensong sung by the Great Choir: the assembled Cathedral and Consort Choirs.

Take a pause in the middle of your day and enjoy live music in the beautiful setting of Bristol Cathedral. Our Lunchtime Recitals bring together talented musicians from the city and beyond, offering performances that range from classical favourites to new compositions. Lasting around 45 minutes, these informal concerts are free to attend, but we are grateful for any donation you are able to make. All are welcome!
