Join the monks and visitors in silence before 6pm Vespers weekdays

 Here, some of our monks, visitors and people on their way home after work join together at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth and sit simply being quiet, praying, meditating, being still and being with God at 5.30pm every weekday before the Divine Office of Vespers starts at 6pm in the Abbey Church.
