Bristol Cathedral is a living place of Anglican worship at the heart of one of the UK’s most vibrant cities. People gather here each day to pray, reflect, and share in the beauty of music, scripture, and sacrament. Our pattern of services offers both stillness and celebration, from the quiet rhythms of Morning Prayer to the rich harmonies of Choral Evensong and the shared table of the Sunday Eucharist. Alongside worship, the Cathedral hosts an ever-changing programme of concerts, talks, exhibitions, and community gatherings. These events invite conversation, creativity, and connection, welcoming all who wish to encounter this historic building as a place of discovery and belonging.

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.
