Services in the Abbey Church

Vespers - Web large.jpg

Visitors are welcome to join the monks for Office in the Abbey Church – times are set out below. The best entrance is from the North Transept, via the Narthex. If you wish to join the singing, we would ask you do so softly and follow the pace set by the monks. With the exception of Matins, all the Offices are usually sung, the cantors alternating with the choir. Visitors are asked to arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before the start of an Office (when the bell goes and the lights go up) and to take their place in Choir quietly – the stalls nearest the High Altar are for guests. At the end of an Office, please allow the monks to leave first.

Visitors are asked to follow the Community’s movements of kneeling, standing and sitting, but without the obligation of participating in the more complex rubrics of turning and bowing. Each guest will find the Office books in the stalls. There are separate books for Sunday Lauds, Midday Office (Prayer during the Day) and Compline and Vespers (Vesperale Monasticum).
