Ely is located in the east of England, just 12 miles north of Cambridge, and is easily accessible by public transport and by car.
Ely has many direct rail and bus connections and Ely Cathedral is a 10 minute walk from the railway station.
Main road routes serving Ely include the A10 and A142 (linking with the M11, A1 and A14). Car parking is free of charge in the city centre.
No group accommodation is being arranged for this visit.
There are various hotels available in and around the area. You may find the following useful:
All music will be provided on the day. You will be expected to have learnt music made available in advance of the visit. No time in the rehearsal will be given to note-bashing this music. We will spend more time looking at music introduced on the day. We regret that copyright does not always allow us to make all music available beforehand.
Cassocks and surplices will be provided on the day (if you are new, please send your approx height and build to Ed at md@harsnettchoir.org.uk).
Please wear quiet black shoes and black socks/tights as these might show under your cassock.
We do limit the number of people we can take to fit the stalls and maintain balance between the parts. Places are assigned on a first come first served basis. You will be contacted within 48 hours of signing up for a visit if the visit is oversubscribed. Please do not arrange non-refundable travel or accommodation until after this time. If you are unsure or need to know immediately, please contact Ed at md@harsnettchoir.org.uk
Where available, online versions of sheet music are linked from the 'music' section above.
Once the music list has been agreed with the abbey, Ed will create a Spotify playlist and provide video recordings below. Please bear in mind that the sheet music and recordings linked from here may differ subtly to our own version on the day.
If you have any questions, please contact Ed.
