The Daily Offices and the celebration of Holy Communion are the heartbeat of our life. You are welcome to join us for any or all of these services, as we mark the hours, days and seasons of the year.

Sunday

08:00 Holy Communion: This is a quiet reflective service following the pattern in the Book of Common Prayer of 1662. It is usually held in the Trinity Chapel.

09:15 Choral Mattins: A 45-minute service of music, readings and prayers, sung by our Cathedral Choir. In school holidays this service is replaced by a shorter service of said Morning Prayer.

10:30 Choral Eucharist: This is our main Sunday service which lasts about 90 minutes and includes a choral setting of the Communion service sung by the choir, hymns and a sermon followed by refreshments. There is provision for younger children during this service, and we also offer the ministry of prayer and healing (every Sunday) in one of the side chapels.

16:30 Choral Evensong: Evening worship from the Book of Common Prayer, sung by the choir, it lasts about 45 minutes.

Monday - Saturday

07:30 Morning Worship with Holy Communion (08:30 on Saturdays): This service lasts about 35 minutes and is usually held in the Trinity Chapel combining Morning Prayer and Holy Communion in the contemporary language of Common Worship. There is opportunity for those who do not wish to stay for Communion to leave the service after Morning Prayer.

Holy Communion (normally 12:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays): Held in the Trinity Chapel. 

17:30 Choral Evensong: This is the jewel of our great choral heritage: Evening Worship from the Book of Common Prayer, sung by the choir. It lasts about 40 minutes.

Prayers are said on the hour during the day, providing a couple of moments of reflection in the midst of the bustle of visitors and tourists.

Prayer and Healing

At Salisbury Cathedral we take seriously the call to the laying on of hands with prayer for healing, and the anointing of the sick with oil, and so this important ministry is offered every Sunday during the 10.30am Eucharist during the distribution of Communion. You are welcome to receive this ministry for yourself, or on behalf of a loved one. We also offer this ministry each year at St Luke’s-tide, and during Holy Week.
