Welcome to Wigan Parish Church Choir
All Saints, Wigan, has had a choir for many hundreds of years, and has a traditional Anglican choral tradition at the heart of it's worship.
The choir sings Parish Communion and Evensong every week and also additional services on feast days. We maintain a SATB choir of women and men and are always happy to hear from anyone that is keen to join a choir and contribute to our musical ministry. See the 'Contacts' page and get in touch.
On our site you will find a history of the choir, downloadable scores of music prepared for the choir, along with the midi files of each piece. On the 'Organs' page you will find a detailed history of the organs and organists, including Sir Edward Bairstow, who was organist here for six years, during which time he composed 'Blessed be Thou, Lord God of Israel' for our choir and the re-dedication of the organ in 1902.

We recognise that choral singing is less popular than in years gone by, and that there are many singers who do not have the opportunity to sing Evensong in their own church as many churches have only a Sunday morning service. However, the BCP 1662 Evensong is unrivalled in it's liturgy and music written especially for it. So why not come along and and join experienced singers where the music is directed, without the need to 'leave' your own choir!
There is no obligation to join the choir or turn up every week, just sing as little or as often as you are able.
The choir meets at 5.30pm every Sunday to practice for Evensong and the following Sunday Eucharist. We currently enjoy a choir made up of:
