People from all over the world have come here to worship God for centuries. Services take place every day, often in our many side-chapels, and we welcome people from all backgrounds to come and worship with us.
Our range of services reflects the variety of people who worship in Tewkesbury Abbey. From our daily reflective services of morning prayer to larger services such as our service of Nine Lessons and Carols, and Remembrance Day.
Sunday Services
This is the regular pattern for Sunday services but please check the calendar on the homepage to confirm the services for a particular Sunday.
7.30am Morning Prayer
A said service of Morning Prayer in the Chapel of St John & St Catherine
8am Holy Communion BCP
A said service of Holy Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer in the Lady Chapel
10.30am High Mass
A contemporary language High Mass, incorporating choral settings, balancing said and sung elements.
Families welcome with children’s church occurring every week – a fun and faith-filled session with story craft, Lego, simple prayers, and activities for all ages. Children begin in the main service and then head out for their own time of learning and play before re-joining their families (very young children will need to be accompanied by an adult).
The 10.30am service is live-streamed when possible and will be available on our YouTube page @TewkesburyAbbeyOfficial.
5pm Choral Evensong
The singing of our choir of men and women enhances the beauty of the language of the Book of Common Prayer which is used at this service.
An induction loop for those with hearing aids is available at the main services.
