Monthly candlelit night prayer service sung by the Cathedral Youth Choir in the Lady Chapel of St Albans Cathedral.
Choral Compline is back at St Albans Cathedral on Sunday 8 November, with the Cathedral Youth Choir leading the service. It's a candlelit night prayer, sung in the Lady Chapel, and it runs on the second Sunday of every month, so if you can't make this one, there's another coming up soon.
The choir is directed by Dewi Rees and is open to skilled and ambitious singers in Years 9 to 13. It's designed for those who want to develop their voices and musicianship and perform choral music to a high standard alongside like-minded friends, and it's especially suited to anyone who plans to keep singing at university and beyond. They rehearse on Tuesdays during term time.
As for the setting, St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain and the shrine to Alban, the country's first saint. It also houses the oldest cathedral tower in Britain, with 211 steps to the top. 2026 also marks the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's New Testament.
