Sing with us
The UK has a thriving Sacred Harp community and there are lots of ways to get involved both in Sheffield and beyond.
By far the best way of learning and singing Sacred Harp is to immerse yourself in it at one of the many events held up and down the country throughout the year. A calendar of all events can be found at the UK Sacred Harp website.
We also sing, more informally, twice a month in the centre of Sheffield. The sessions are suitable for everyone - regardless of background or level of experience.
