All events Calendar

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.

Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at for 1 hour
Bristol Cathedral
College Green Bristol, BS1 5TJ, United Kingdom

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.
