Buckingham Parish Church

Buckingham Church Choir is a welcoming and thriving group of children and adults!

Buckingham Parish Church has a long-standing choral tradition which goes back to the rebuilding of the church in the 1780s. We sing a wide range of choral music regularly at the 9:00am Sunday Eucharist, and occasionally at other services in Buckingham Benefice.

The Choir plays a leading role in worship and offers all ages something very special - there’s something for everyone to feel part of, particularly for children developing their faith, musical skills, well-being and confidence.  Children receive not only an excellent musical education through the choir, but most importantly make friends and have a good time in a caring environment. Being part of the choir also adds important life-skills such as excellent self-discipline, concentration and team work. Choristers also have the chance to meet out for other activities, usually a trip involving food!

We're a sociable, welcoming bunch and we look after each other - all ages included. We hold an annual dinner and there are other social occasions, giving thanks for the gift of music and fellowship together; further recognition that singing is integral to our faith and enriches us. Most recently we sang carols for Florence Nightingale Hospice, and annually at our Christmas Eve gathering at the local Villiers hotel. We are frequently called for special occasions such as weddings.

There are currently vacancies for both boy and girl choristers, tenors and basses. Junior Choristers are paid in recognition of their commitment and service up to the age of 18. We follow the RSCM training and award scheme which enables choristers to progress through levels of proficiency and attend residential courses. We look forward to meeting prospective members.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at BP Church for our Sunday Services starting at 9am, 11am or 6pm. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits before the services begin. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected


Connect Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Connect Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
