The Clergy Support Festival, one of the oldest choral music events in the world, is a key date in the Church, City of London and choral music calendars, and over the years composers including Edward Elgar have written music especially for the event. It includes a majestic procession of Bishops, Masters of Livery Companies, representatives of the City of London, Stewards of the Festival and other dignitaries.
The Service at St Paul’s Cathedral (4pm doors, to be seated for 4.40pm) celebrates the ministry of the clergy households that are served. Tickets are free. The Dinner at Plaisterers’ Hall (6.20pm doors, for a 7.10pm start) is a networking and fundraising event, to support our work. Tickets are £150.
