Be a Chorister for a Day

The Cathedral’s annual ‘Be a Chorister for a Day’ event takes place on the third Saturday of September. Children aged between 6 and 9  are invited to come to the Cathedral for the day to find out what it is like to be a Cathedral Chorister.

The experience includes singing games, learning about the Cathedral, and finding out what a Chorister really does. At the end of the afternoon the children sing Evensong with the Cathedral Choir. Parents can take a tour of the School if they wish, before enjoying the Evensong service.

If you are interested in the next event, please contact the Cathedral Music Office via musicoffice@wellscathedral.org.uk

Song Squad

Would you like to sing, have fun and make new friends?

Wells Cathedral Song Squad is our Junior Choir open to all children aged 4 to 13 (inclusive), who attend any school. It’s great fun and there’s no audition. The only requirements are an eagerness to learn and a love of singing! Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays during term time from 5.00pm – 5.30pm (for the 4 – 6 year-olds) and 5.00 – 6.00pm (for the 7 – 13 year olds), in the Education Room at Wells Cathedral.

More Information

If you know a child aged 4 to 13 who loves singing, please be in touch! For those aged 4-6 there is Wells Cathedral Song Squad Minis. This training choir for the well-established Song Squad gives younger children the opportunity to sing to a high standard and perform concerts both on their own and alongside Song Squad. For children aged 7 to 13 we have Wells Cathedral Song Squad.

Both choirs are great fun, open to all who attend any school, and there is no need to audition – children just need to enjoy singing! Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays from 5.00 – 5.30 p.m. for the Minis, and from 5.00 – 6.00 p.m. for Song Squad, during term time.
