19 January 2025, 6-7pm (Repeats Every week until 2 March 2025, other dates)
All welcome
Some people attend Evensong for spiritual reasons: prayer, reflection and worship. Others join us simply to enjoy a peaceful hour where they can relax whilst surrounded by beautiful religious music from across the centuries. Many tourists and University visitors choose to attend Evensong as a part of the quintessential 'Oxford experience'.
Whatever your faith background, and whatever your reason for visiting St Peter's, you are welcome. The services are short, consisting mainly of choral music, scripture readings and prayers. Pamphlets with details of how you can (if you choose to) participate in the congregational aspects of the service are given at the door. There is no dress code.
Evensong services in the St Peter's College Chapel are according to the rites of the Church of England. The services are typically led by the Chaplain and the College Choir and include sung liturgy, Bible readings, prayers, a choir anthem or motet and a congregational hymn.
On Sundays during term time, preachers from different Christian traditions deliver short sermons, and refreshments are served after the service. The Sunday service begins at 6pm and lasts approximately one hour.
The Thursday service has no sermon and starts at 6.15pm, lasting approximately 45 minutes.
Some services are live-streamed and available for post-service viewing at the link below.
Many of our musical, artistic and religious events take place in the College Chapel.
Enter the College through the Porters' Lodge on New Inn Hall Street, and our Porters will direct you to the Chapel. While the entrances are accessible from a step-free footpath, the doors are not automated. If you require assistance with the doors, please enquire at the Porters' Lodge.
