Special service marking 150 years of the Diocese of St Albans and St Albans Cathedral, at the heart of the Alban 150 anniversary year.
St Albans Cathedral is hosting the Alban 150 Diocesan Sesquicentenary Anniversary Service on Saturday 8 May 2027, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. It's a celebration of a double anniversary: 150 years of the Diocese of St Albans and 150 years of the cathedral itself. The service sits at the heart of the Alban 150 anniversary year, which marks the milestone for both.
The idea is to bring together people from across the diocese and beyond to give thanks for the life, worship and witness of the past 150 years, and to look with hope towards the future. It's a service of celebration, so it's more about looking back and forward than a standard Sunday morning. The cathedral's own history ties back to Alban, the saint whose story reaches the very beginning of the Christian faith in Britain, so the whole thing is rooted in the city's oldest connection.

If you're coming from outside the centre, the cathedral is at Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY. The service runs from 2:00pm to 3:00pm, so it's a one-hour affair in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.
