We are holding a HYMNATHON this May to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of Nottingham Cathedral this year, as well as raising money for the Cathedral’s Youth Choir.
 
The afternoon will feature non-stop hymn singing from 12 – 6pm and singers from all over the city and will gather to sing some of your favourite hymns alongside our Cathedral Choirs.
 
The HYMNATHON will culminate in our celebratory Gala Concert at 7.45pm. 

​We are looking for singers to join us to form a MASSED CHOIR in our Hymnathon Gala Concert - celebrating the 175th Anniversary of Nottingham Cathedral.
