Choristers

Singing, musical training and the opportunity to join a traditional robed choir for children in Year 3 and older

We sing with the adult choir at morning services once or twice a month, and senior choristers sing evensong with the adults on the 2nd Sunday and occasional services.
Our rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 6:15-7:30pm, including choir club (snacks, games and social time).

The older choristers join the adult choir rehearsal 7:30-8pm.

Minims Group

Minims

Singing and musical activities for children in years 1 and 2

We meet on Thursdays during term time from 5:50pm to 6:30pm. We learn songs, play musical games and learn about music and singing.

We join the choristers for the start of their rehearsal to see what it’s like to be a chorister. Occasionally we sing with the choristers in church services.
