Life at Westminster Abbey revolves around worship. Whatever your beliefs, you’re welcome to take part. Our daily services are open to the public, and our congregations include people from all over the world.
See our full list of upcoming services, including details of the music and preachers.
Our servicesDue to social distancing measures, we may not be able to accommodate everyone who wishes to attend our services. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
For some of our Sunday services, you will need to book tickets.
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.

It’s very hard not to be enthusiastic working at the Abbey. If this place doesn’t make you smile I don’t know what will.
