Westminster Abbey Evensong, (how it works)

Free Entry; you do not need to pre-book tickets for evensong & entry remains free of charge.

Entrance For Evensong; simply queue at the Great West Doors at Westminster Abbey, (this is usually the point of exit if you are on a sightseeing tour).

Queue Times; previously crowds for evensong were relatively small so you were able to secure a seat 15 minutes before the service, (pre-covid).

Limited View; worth noting that many of the seats available for evensong offer only a limited view of the choir so worth arriving ahead of the crowds if you are looking for an unrestricted view.

Unrestricted Access; those at the front of the evensong queue will have the opportunity to sit among the (Quire) pews alongside the choir.  On the day of our visit, we arrived an hour before evensong, began queuing at the Great West Door and were rewarded with seats within the Quire.

Photography; there is no photography allowed during the service, (or in fact within Westminster Abbey at any time), and attire should be respectful.

Services; vary throughout the year so worth checking out when Evensong at Westminster Abbey is running during your visit.
