A great liturgical celebration of our patron St Birinus, officiated by the Abbot and monks of Farnborough Abbey.

The music will be led by Iain Simcock and the Schola Cantorum of Cambridge, and the Gregorian Chant workshop attendees will be able to sing the chant that they have been learning throughout the day.

Parking

Parking is available on the street around the village and in St Birinus car park (on Bridge End, opposite the abbey). For the larger events, extra parking will be available in the surrounding fields, as signposted.
