Advent Procession Service

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 08:58:00 GMT

This service is one of the most atmospheric services in the calendar. We start in complete darkness, reminding us of the sadness in the world; gradually the light dawns within the cathedral as more and more candles are lit and we hear stories of hope and light from the bible and the promise that Jesus will return bringing peace and joy. The service includes traditional advent hymns and stunning music from the cathedral choir.

All are welcome.

This service will be live-streamed on this page at 18:00 and the replay will be available to watch on this page after the service has finished. If you have any problems viewing the live stream or replay, please visit our YouTube channel.

Kres led by Another Way

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 14:41:47 GMT

Kres (Cornish for “peace”) is a space for stillness, reflection, and creative worship, hosted by Another Way, a pioneering community based in Truro. Inspired by Cornwall’s rich spiritual heritage, Kres weaves together ancient and contemporary expressions of faith through music, poetry, storytelling, and liturgy.

Each gathering explores a different theme—sometimes rooted in the seasons, sometimes in the stories of saints and seekers who have walked before us, and always in the deep questions of life, faith, and reconciliation. We hold in tension the longing for peace and the reality of struggle, both in our own hearts and in the world around us.

Kres is a space for everyone. Whether you come with faith, doubt, or curiosity, you are welcome. We use the language of the Christian tradition while making room for personal reflection and interpretation. You are invited to participate in prayers, songs, and readings as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Mediaeval Baebes 30th Anniversary Concert

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:48:00 GMT

Mediaeval Baebes set out on their 30th Anniversary Tour, celebrating thirty years of timeless song and ethereal voices.

Book Now

The genre-defying, classical chart topping vocal ensemble was conceptualised and formed in 1996 by musical director and composer Katharine Blake when she and a group of friends broke into Abney Park Cemetery at midnight to sing madrigals. The group have released 12 studio albums and won an Ivor Novello Award for their performance on the BBC serialisation “The Virgin Queen”. They have also received two Emmy nominations and a Royal Television Society award as the featured artist alongside composer Martin Phipps for the theme tune of ITV’s hit TV show “Victoria”.

This year’s performance draws deeply from their latest album The Spinning Wheel, a richly woven collection of twelve songs for the twelve months,
From frost-bright winter laments to the heat-hazed longing of high summer, ancient texts and new melodies intertwine in a concert rich with ritual, romance, and time-honoured enchantment.
Expect voices that shimmer, stories that linger, and music that feels both ancient and newly born.
Thirty years on, the wheel still turns… and you are invited to listen.

Throughout their many incarnations, the Mediaeval Baebes’ haunting vocals have led them to tour the world, including the UK, United States, Canada, Asia and Europe, in venues ranging from castles and caves to cathedrals and Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage. They have toured with Jools Holland and played at the Royal Albert Hall, Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall, Jersey Opera House, Tewkesbury Abbey, supported Michael Flatley in Hyde Park, and performed at the legendary Lilith Fayre.
