Booking Open: 370th Festival at St Paul's Cathedral

You are warmly invited to our 370th Festival, on Tuesday 13 May 2025 at 5pm.

One of the oldest choral music events in the world, bringing together three exceptional Cathedral Choirs, the Festival Service at St Paul's Cathedral is an afternoon of thanksgiving for the ministry of our clergy.

Lichfield Cathedral Choir will join those of Bradford - the 2025 UK City of Culture - and St Paul's. The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford, The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani will preach.

Our Festival is our biggest fundraising event of the year. A cash collection will be taken, and Contactless Donation Points will be beside those of St Paul's at the Cathedral doors. Tickets for the Service are free, with a suggested donation on our booking form.

  • You're also welcome to join our Festival Dinner at Plaisterers' Hall, at 7pm.

We'll be fundraising to support the clergy who spend their lives supporting us. Whilst we never want money to be a barrier to anyone attending the Festival Dinner, we kindly ask our guests to help cover the cost of their meal.

By doing so, you'll ensure our resources can go to where they're needed most - to almost 2,800 households who rely on our grants and services each year. As we receive more applications than ever before, our work, and your support, has never been more vital.
