Welcome! Whenever you come into our beautiful church, you are likely to find some sort of music taking place; it may be one of our stunning listed concerts, or a rehearsal for a concert or choral service. You may also hear our organist, one of our organ scholars or one of our local professional musicians rehearsing, or just an informal concert by some of our local, very talented musicians. Please stay awhile, listen and enjoy and be part of the continuation of a musical heritage at St. Etheldreda's which goes back hundreds of years. You can find out more about our church services and events, including information about our choirs, and choral and organ scholarships on our website at www.stetheldreda.org.

THE WEST END PROJECT St. Etheldreda’s church has been at the centre of religious and community life in Hatfield for over 900 years. As we embark on an adventurous and much-needed programme of renovations to this lovely and historic church, we invite you to visit our website (www.stetheldreda.org/news/west-end-project/) to see what’s planned.
