Chichester cathedral choir is looking for new recruits.
Chichester Cathedral will be holding its annual Chorister Open Day on Saturday, March 7, an opportunity for children and parents to find out more about becoming a chorister in the 900-year-old place of worship.
Spokeswoman Cathy Clark said: “Choristers at Chichester sing in the glorious acoustics of the cathedral, and perform at concerts at home and abroad, whilst enjoying an excellent academic education at The Prebendal School. Substantial scholarships are awarded to all choristers, and additional bursaries are available on a means-tested basis.
