Welcome to Cartmel Choral Society

Thank you for visiting our website.

Cartmel Choral Society was founded in 1908 and it has been a source of musical entertainment, performance and pleasure to several generations of local people.

We are an enthusiastic and friendly group of amateur singers, with a musical ability spectrum that varies from complete beginners to those who have studied and taught music professionally. New members are very welcome and there are no auditions or minimum vocal requirements. All we require is a love of singing and a willingness to participate.

What do we do?

How do I join?

Following the retirement of Adrian Self we are seeking a new Director to start rehearsals with us in September 2026.

Our rehearsal accompanist John Shippen is Assistant Director at Cartmel Priory and an accomplished organist and pianist with a fine tenor voice.

We perform concerts just before Christmas and Easter. These are traditionally held in the beautiful, atmospheric surroundings of Cartmel Priory.

 

The society is independent and members enrol at the beginning of the Autumn and Spring terms.

Rehearsals are held in Cartmel Village Hall on Monday evenings  at 7-15pm during the term time.

You are welcome to come along and just observe if you wish and see how much we all enjoy it. Should you require any further information, please use the “Get in Touch” button below.  The fee for Autumn 2026 term is to be confirmed Autumn term 2026 rehearsals start: to be confirmed.
