Get involved

Please bring yourselves and your voices and take this opportunity to see for yourself what you can gain as a member of the 1885 Singers. We hope to see you there!

What will I get from the Choir?

Rehearsals with uplifting singing, learning glorious repertoire and the thrill of performing

A friendly, social gathering

The opportunity to sing in a beautiful Grade II listed church, which was designed by George Street and has Burne-Jones and William Morris windows

What am I committing to?

There is a subscription of £70 for each concert (with a 50% discount for your first concert and for under 30 year olds). This covers supplying your music, the rehearsal costs (including church hire and our accompanist) and the cost of staging the performance.

We encourage all our members to attend as many rehearsals as possible. To be eligible to sing in the concert you must attend at least five rehearsals. The rehearsal on the afternoon of the concert day is mandatory for all performers.

When do we sing?
