Music shapes the rhythm of life at the Cathedral.
Music is at the heart of life at Southwark Cathedral.
Our regular Choral Eucharist and Choral Evensong services are sung by the Cathedral Choir and visiting choirs from across the UK and beyond. Whether you come to worship, pause for reflection or simply experience the beauty of choral music within the Cathedral, you will receive a warm welcome.
For more information, including the programme of music sung, please see the monthly service sheet.
