We have previously allowed members to sing for only the Saturday of a weekend visit, but this is very disruptive and swells the choir for the least important services. Therefore we're now only accepting sign ups for the whole weekend.

The nearest major public car park is on Dean Street. From there, a short walk and a small stairway lead you to Amen Corner and the East Entrance of the Cathedral. Other parking options include multi-storey facilities and surface car parks managed by Newcastle City Council.
Newcastle Central Train Station is a five-minute walk away. Simply head along Neville Street, passing landmarks like the Royal Station Hotel, the Lit & Phil and The Common Room (formerly the Mining Institute), until you reach the Cathedral.
The Tyne and Wear Metro service’s closest stations are Monument Station and Central Station, both less than 10 minutes’ walk away.
Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations are both a 15-minute walk from the Cathedral, and services run here from across the North East. Additionally, public buses run outside the Cathedral towards Gateshead, Durham, and Chester-le-Street.
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.
