Worship - Welcome

For over 1300 years, the primary purpose of Peterborough Cathedral has been the worship of Almighty God.

As in most English Cathedrals, a long standing choral tradition underpins the daily round of prayer and worship, with Evensong sung each day (during term and often at other times). Choral Eucharist and Sung Matins are also offered on Sundays. In addition we offer a variety of other Regular Services such as Morning Prayer and Eucharist every day, Holy Communion at 11 am every Wednesday, Wednesday at One and more reflective forms of worship such as Taize.

There are also a number of Special Services throughout the year, especially at Christmas, Easter, Petertide, and in January, when we hold the Katharine of Aragon Commemoration Service, at which we celebrate the life of the former Queen, now buried in Peterborough Cathedral.

The Cathedral’s teaching programme is also supported by prayer and worship, as are The Peterborough Theological Society, the Film Group and house groups. The online Prayer and Sermon Archive is another way of engaging with the spiritual life of the community.

In this section you will find a wealth of information about ways to share in worship at Peterborough Cathedral, as well as a comprehensive programme of additional activities which will allow people with either a small or significant amount of knowledge of the Christian faith to discover more by engaging in Christian teaching, or by joining a study group.
