About Durham Cathedral's services of worship
Our regular services are dignified but warm, following set patterns laid out by the Church of England. We follow a daily rhythm of Morning and Evening Prayer, with a celebration of the Eucharist or Holy Communion every day. The evening services and several of the services on Sunday are sung by Durham Cathedral Choir, a choir of adults and children.
