Cathedral services As a busy working church, acts of worship are part of our daily life. You are warmly invited to attend all our services - we particularly recommend Choral Evensong, at which you can hear our world-famous choir. Information about service times, as well as brief descriptions about each of our services can be found at www.stpauls.co.uk/serviceschedule.

Ask a parent or carer to tweet us a photo of your masterpiece to @StPaulsEdu or email us at families@stpaulscathedral.org.uk. See full T&Cs.
