Events

Our customary start to Advent in the wonderful surroundings of Buckfast Abbey, with traditional carols, hymns and readings. If you haven’t taken part in this service before, then do come along. It’s a wonderful occasion, with lovely music, expert leadership from Matthew and inspiring organ playing from David – not to mention Fr Abbot leading the service.

Directed by Matthew Searles and accompanied by David Davies

The cost for attending is £7 for adults (those still at school free).

Please book by 24th November so that we can produce sufficient music copies.

There is no need for members of the congregation to book in advance, but early arrival is recommended as the Abbey Church is usually very full for this service.

Devon Area Festival Service

Directed by Timothy Noon          

Having had recent Festivals centred around Evensong, this year we will celebrate music for the Eucharist, including the setting by David Thorne, Ave Verum by Byrd, Expectans Expectavi by Wood and much other lovely music, including by local composers.

The cost for attending is £7 for adults (those still at school free). If you wish to have your copy posted in advance there is an extra £1 charge per copy.

Please make sure to book as much in advance as possible – as last year we will be making the copies on demand, so there is an absolutely final deadline of October 6th

Any under 18 year olds attending must bring a completed Parental Consent Form, even if their parents are participating.

An opportunity to sing evensong in Exeter Cathedral along with the Cathedral Choir.

Ayleward Responses,  Canticles: Sumsion in A    

Anthem:    Bach: Awake, thou wintry earth

This is always an excellent event, with amazing direction from Tim Noon, the Cathedral’s Director of Music. If you don’t know Sumsion in A, it’s a really good setting, easily accessible to learn on the day, but at the same time there are some inspiring moments. The Bach anthem is likewise very approachable, although the organist has more of a challenge.

Cost:  £7 Adults. 18 and under – free.

All music will be provided on the day.
