The 370th Clergy Support Trust Festival, the oldest choral festival in the world, brings together three outstanding cathedral choirs from St Paul's, Bradford and Lichfield in this unique, free event.

The music promises to be exceptional, building upon its legacy of anthems commissioned over time from celebrated English composers such as Parry and Elgar. The preacher this year is The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford, the Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani.

The colourful and moving historic service, which first took place in 1655, highlights the work of Clergy Support Trust, the largest charity dedicated to helping clergy and their families. In 2024 the CST supported more than 2,300 households.
