On Saturday 16th May, we welcomed nineteen boys to our Chorister Experience Day to see what it's like to be a chorister at Westminster Abbey. They explored parts of the Abbey not normally open to the public, spent time with current choristers in the Abbey Choir School, and sang in a service of Choral Evensong. If you know a primary school-aged boy that loves to sing, you can express interest in next academic year's events at the link in the comments.
