St Edmundsbury Cathedral Concerts

Loved it. Donated my £10 for up keep. Lovely place and town. Sure others know far more info than me. Please read and like others.

Visited the Bury St Edmunds Cathedral, it is well maintained and beautiful. When we visited, there was a choir going on, so it added to the scene. Minor issue: the Cathedral seems to lack restrooms to use for public, or at least signs indicating it's direction. So, when my kid had urge to go, even when we wanted to stay a bit longer, we had to step out to use rest room in Abbey Gardens, which is next to it.

I went here for the Christmas service of 9 lessons and Carols. It was a beautiful service, well organised and the choir was excellent. The cathedral was well decorated and the front pews were reserved for family of the choir, which as an ex-chorister I thought was a lovely touch. I liked the fact the service had different readings from various sources, the music selection was fantastic- the choir sang a traditional Ukranian Carol and it was just wonderful. They also invited readers from within organisations in the community that support others. I really liked this and it meant we could use the QR codes in the order of service to donate to their organisations if we wished. There was also a member of the congregation who experienced a medical emergency during the service and the staff handled it really well and discreetly. The organist was very good and I particularly liked the piece of Widor he played at the end.

Been here before so went to the gift shop this time. Lovely grounds, gardens busy with visitors. Recommend visiting

Absolutely breathtaking, the craftsmanship and attention to detail is beyond measure. The greetings on entry and the book shop were so welcoming and friendly, no stuffy reception here. Very interesting books in the Bookshop. And thanks to the Bishop entry is free but donations are very gratefully received. Can't wait to revisit St Edmundsbury Cathedral and Bury St Edmunds again.
