For centuries, Hereford Cathedral has been a beacon of musical excellence, preserving and enhancing a choral tradition that enriches worship, inspires faith, and nurtures the next generation of musicians. Now, you can become a part of this extraordinary heritage by joining Hereford Cathedral's Perpetual Trust Music Patron Scheme.

It’s also about ensuring that we continue to offer excellence in worship, inspiring and uplifting our congregation and visitors from near and far.
