Welcome to the official website of Broughton Parish Church Choir, serving the historic parish of Broughton, near Preston in Lancashire.

The choir, consisting of around 35 boys and gentlemen, plays a central role in the worshipping life of St John Baptist, Broughton, leading congregational singing and performing a rich repertoire of choral music in the Anglican choral tradition.

Our choristers receive training in musical and vocal technique, and the choir offers a unique opportunity for boys to gain a free, first-class musical education within a supportive and nurturing environment.

In addition to singing for Sunday services, feast days, weddings, and special liturgical occasions throughout the year, one of the highlights for the boys is the annual week-long training course on the Isle of Man. The choir is also regularly invited to sing in major churches and cathedrals across the UK.

But it’s not all work! Choristers and their families enjoy great fun together on regular day trips, sports matches, car treasure hunts, and the popular summer outing to the seaside, to name just a few.

New boys (aged 7+) are always welcome to enquire about joining the choir. Please contact us for further information.

Broughton Parish Church Choir is committed to provide a first-class musical training and to encourage high standards of personal achievement.
