About Be a Chorister Open Day

Does your son love to sing? Come for an afternoon of singing fun!

No singing experience necessary! All boys aged 6-10 are welcome to come and explore the exciting world of choral singing.

What to expect:

  • Singing and performing with the Cathedral Choir
  • Dressing up in choir robes
  • Exploring our majestic cathedral building
  • Hearing the mighty cathedral organ

Parents and families are invited to learn more about the amazing opportunities available to choristers at Winchester Cathedral and The Pilgrims’ School. This prestigious choir school offers a unique combination of academic excellence and musical training, all set in the beautiful surroundings of the Cathedral Close.

All Winchester Cathedral Boy Choristers receive generous bursaries

Why become a chorister?

Being a chorister is about much more than singing. Choristers develop confidence, teamwork, discipline and communication skills while making lifelong friendships and experiencing the joy of performing in a world-renowned cathedral. Through regular music-making, choristers build concentration, resilience and leadership skills that support them both in and out of the classroom.
