A look back at our Patronal Festival Evensong 💙

Back in June, we welcomed former Boy Choristers and Lay Clerks back to Bath Abbey to sing alongside our current choirs at a special Evensong as part of our Patronal Festival celebrations.

After rehearsing and worshipping together, our alumni gathered for drinks and dinner — a wonderful opportunity to catch up, reminisce and reconnect with the Abbey and with one another.

This is one of a number of chorister alumni events made possible thanks to a grant from the Cathedral Music Trust.

The grant is helping us strengthen our connections with former choristers and create opportunities for alumni to remain part of Abbey life, long after their time in the choir has ended.

We are very grateful to the Cathedral Music Trust for supporting this work and helping us keep these important connections alive. 💙
