The Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester Cathedral
One of the world’s oldest annual classical music festivals comes to Gloucester Cathedral for eight days of extraordinary music-making.
From 25 July to 1 August, experience the power of live choral music at the 2026 Three Choirs Festival. A superb selection of concerts features the Festival’s own choirs, internationally-recognised soloists, and the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra.

The exciting programme includes Mozart’s dramatic Requiem, Elgar’s masterpiece The Dream of Gerontius, and a thrilling daytime schedule with recitals from VOCES8 and Roderick Williams. The three Cathedral Choirs of Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester will join forces to sing Evensongs throughout the week in a feast of Anglican choral music, including a live broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
