It holds a Choral Eucharist service every Sunday morning and one Cathedral-style Evensong each month (plus a monthly unaccompanied Compline). There is a mixed choir of 14 experienced voices with a weekly choir practice on Thursday evening.

The organ is a three-manual and pedal Hill, mostly dating from 1905 (though there is pipe work back to 1650), rebuilt and enlarged by Hill in 1965, and again by Peter Spencer in 2007.
