The Downland Chorale: Providing extraordinary experiences for ordinary people!
We are a friendly community choir open to anyone who wishes to sing with us.

All are welcome and no audition is necessary.
We are supported by the Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust.
We stage four concerts each year in the Autumn, at Christmas, Easter and in the Summer and at an annual “Come and Sing” Workshop in the Spring, as well as singing for special events in the community such as weddings and seasonal gatherings.
If you are interested in singing with an amazing group of people, taught by some amazing professionals and accompanied in concert by some amazing musicians - from a fabulous pianist to a full orchestra, please do give us a call today! We have some part-funded places available for people on a tight budget and anyone aged 16 - 25.
