The Anglican service of Evensong is an ancient tradition, dating to the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. The music, the sung and spoken words and the beautiful surroundings will bring you into a world of quiet reflection before a busy week begins, away from the endless distractions of modern life. Bring a friend! The entire community is always welcome.
