In accordance with the latest Government guidance, we are very pleased that choral services will be able to resume in Westminster Abbey from Sunday 16th August.
At first these will take place on Sundays only and be sung by a small number of Lay Vicars. All necessary safety and hygiene measures will be observed at all times and comprehensive risk assessments have been compiled to ensure the safety of the congregation, clergy, choir and Abbey staff.
It is the intention that we will build up stage by stage to a full choral schedule in due course.
