Live on BBC Radio 3 – How to Listen

15th February 2019

The longest running of the BBC’s outside broadcasts, Choral Evensong is transmitted LIVE every Wednesday at 15:30. And has done so since 1926 albeit at different times and on different days.

The Anglican service is broadcast from various cathedrals, chapels and churches across the UK.

Sometimes the BBC broadcast the service from overseas and from Catholic cathedrals where it is referred to as Choral Vespers.

To listen to Evensong from your phone or desktop simply visit the BBC Radio 3 website by clicking the link below.

Listen or catch up to BBC Radio 3 Choral Evensong.

Alternatively (and better still) why not attend an Evensong service?

Just visit the website of your nearest cathedral and find out what time Evensong is taking place on their Service Schedule page. They will be delighted to have you along. And, as thousands of people are finding out, it is a wonderful and restful service. Especially after a long day at work.

Though it is only broadcast once a week by the BBC, Evensong take place almost everyday.

Find out more about Choral Evensong here and set yourself a reminder by attending our virtual Facebook event here.
