Residencies

     Most cathedral choirs have an adjoining cathedral school. During the school holidays, visiting choirs are invited to be the resident choir, normally for a duration of one week. They typically sing Choral Evensong on six evenings with at least one additional service on Sunday. There is usually one day off.

    We can arrange residencies at most of Britain's cathedrals. As you can imagine, the more prestigious ones are booked up well ahead but, particularly if you are flexible with your dates, openings arise even at cathedrals such as Wells and Salisbury. Tell us your preferences and we will tell you what openings are available. 

    We will arrange your flights, the residency, accommodation (often in the cathedral school ,if you prefer that option), transportation and  a sightseeing programme to fit in with your commitments at the cathedral.
