Travel information
Arriving by Public Transport
The Cathedral is located in Gloucester Town Centre, so the best way to get here is by public transport. We are 10-15 minute walk from both the train and bus stations. You can also use Gloucester's Park and Ride. Click here for more information about this service.
Cycling
There are bike racks available on Cathedral Green. Route 41 of the National Cycle Network runs through the Cathedral grounds - find out more about the route here.
Parking
Due to limited space, parking in the Cathedral Close is restricted to pass holders only.
There are eight disabled parking spaces which are for use by Blue Badge holders on a first come first served basis.
However, there are several public car parks within easy walking distance of the Cathedral. To find out more please download our parking guide, electric charging points or click here for up-to-date information.

General info
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 Elizabeth at secretary@harsnettchoir.org).
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 informed promptly if you have a space. 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
We will not be arranging group accommodation for this visit.
Online resources
Where available, online versions of sheet music are linked from the 'music' section above. Where available videos recordings are provided below. Ed will also send a Spotify playlist to those on the visit's WhatsApp group.
Please bear in mind that the sheet music and recordings linked from here may subtly differ to our own version on the day.
If you have any questions, please contact Ed at md@harsnettchoir.org
