AN open morning for prospective young choristers takes place at Hereford Cathedral next weekend.

Boys aged between six and eight-years-old who are interested in joining the cathedral choir are invited to attend the event on March 14 between 9.30am-12pm.

Geraint Bowen, the cathedral's director of music, said: "The life of a chorister is a busy one, but one which will give them experiences and skills to last a lifetime.

"This year we are once again inviting boys to come along and have a real ‘hands-on’ experience, as we feel the open morning then gives potential choristers a real insight into what life here is like.

"The open morning includes an opportunity to take part in a short workshop with the current choristers and sing with some of them in the cathedral."

Anyone planning on attending should book by contacting the cathedral office on 01432 374212 or office@herefordcathedral.org
