Armagh Cathedral will host a free afternoon service offering visitors the chance to experience a centuries-old musical and religious tradition in one of the city’s most recognisable settings.
Service details
Choral Evensong will take place at St Patrick’s (CoI) Cathedral, Armagh, from 4pm to 5pm on Saturday 28 November. The event is listed as part of Georgian Day, and admission is free.
The service is led by the Cathedral Choir, which will sing responses, a psalm, canticles and an anthem. Visit Armagh describes Choral Evensong as a traditional service dating back hundreds of years, held at the end of the working day.
A Georgian-era format
Organisers say very little has changed in the format since Georgian times, giving attendees an opportunity to hear the service in a form that has remained largely consistent over generations.
The event is intended as a quiet and reflective act of worship, and all are welcome to attend. It will be held in the cathedral’s “iconic setting”, according to the event listing.
