Worship Online
The Minster’s worshipping community extends beyond the doors of the building, across the diocese and beyond. We are committed to continuing to live-stream our Cathedral Eucharist and Evensong on Sundays, together with other special services, to enable those who are not able to join us on site to share fully in our worship.
Our weekly Cathedral Eucharist will appear on this page on Sundays from 10.00am, and will remain available for one week.
Our Sunday Evensong will appear here at 3.30pm on Sundays, and will be available for about one day (until sometime the following day – Monday).

Monday 23rd December at 7pm
Cathedral Carol Service
Our carol service follows the traditional pattern of the famous service at King’s College, Cambridge. As well as hearing choral music sung by the Cathedral Choir, there is the chance to sing well-known Christmas carols in a joyful and uplifting setting. The journey to Bethlehem, birth of Jesus, adoration of the shepherds and the coming of the Magi are all part of this festive service of readings and music.
This service is likely to be very popular. We recommend arriving well in advance of the service start time in order to guarantee a seat.
Please do join in at home as you are comfortably able: you may wish to stand, sit and kneel as you normally would in church (we have included instructions for posture in the order of service for this reason), and/or to speak and sing along with the congregational elements of the service.
A live streaming of service from the Minster will appear below at 7pm. You do not need to sign in to watch it.
