Choral Evensong: Nativity of John the Baptist
Sunday 21st June: 1800
The June service will be a festive celebration of our patron saint – St John the Baptist with music by Herbert Sumsion and Sir Charles Villiers Stanford.
Choral Evensong according to the Book of Common Prayer, sung by the church choir and singers from other local churches, takes place in St John’s Tisbury on the third Sunday in the month (except August and December) at 6pm.
We look forward to seeing you for what is an increasingly popular service, perhaps because of the cadences of its traditional language and its timelessness, combined with good quality speech and music – and coming as it does at the end of the day.

It’s true; more people are attending our Choral Evensong services too, though not in their thousands – as yet. Do come; you will be very welcome. http://www.choralevensong.org
