Enjoy one as you stroll, or take a moment to sit in the warm with a hot coffee and savour this centuriesβold tradition. And remember: Alban Buns are meant to be shared! ββ¨

St Albans to host the 2030 Winter Olympics?
We love this image that we rediscovered last week showing locals of the past enjoying a snowy day in St Albans, with the Cathedral in the distance.
Unfortunately we canβt quite make out who painted it β does anyone have any ideas?
Evensong tonight features music by Black composers: canticles by Wayne Marshall, a spiritual arranged by Harry Burleigh, and an organ voluntary by Florence Price. A beautiful way to mark Racial Justice Sunday. If you're in town, come and listen!

Not all masterpieces are serious. Some hum with bees, chirp with crickets, and resound with revelling in the village square.
Haydnβs The Seasons is richly human, full of surprises and packed with joy! Hear
@stalbansbachchoir.bsky.social perform it in glorious surroundings.

@stalbanscathedral.bsky.social: the current building (built from 1077) is on the oldest site of continual Christian worship in Britain. It also has the longest nave of the English cathedrals, and is largely constructed from bricks salvaged from a former Roman town.
