Choral Evensong

Choral Evensong is a beautiful and reflective service that has been sung in English cathedrals for centuries. It is led by the Cathedral Choir or, on occasion, visiting choirs, with the congregation invited to join in sung responses and hymns. The service follows a traditional structure of scripture readings, prayers, and choral music, offering a moment of stillness at the end of the day. As part of the daily rhythm of worship at Portsmouth Cathedral, Evensong showcases the richness of the English choral tradition and provides a space for contemplation and prayer.
