What to expect on Sundays

Services across our locations

Church Street

8am Holy Communion

2nd Sundays of the month, followed by breakfast in the Octagon.

This is a said communion service according to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP). A permanent feature of the Church of England’s worship and a key source for its doctrine, the Book of Common Prayer is loved for the beauty of its language.

Steeped in tradition and accompanied by the robed Minster Choir, the service follows Common Worship liturgy for communion and makes the most of the fine organ and traditional building.
