Great Sacred Music – Every Thursday at 1.00pm

Join us every Thursday at 1.00pm in church for Great Sacred Music, a 35-minute lunchtime programme of words and music. Led by St Martin’s Voices and directed by Andrew Earis, each programme explores the richness of our sacred musical heritage through beautiful choral music and thoughtfully chosen readings.

If you can’t join us in person, each performance is livestreamed. Watch online here:
