Government relaxes rules around congregational singing in England
from Premier:
The UK Government has loosened restrictions on singing in places of worship in England.
As of Sunday, 28th March, congregational singing will be permitted outdoors, as long as it takes place within the grounds or outdoor space of a church, and a church follows social distancing and gathering rules. Small groups may also rehearse and perform indoors.
Guidance updated on 26th March states: “When communal worship takes place outdoors, the congregation may join in with singing, and should follow the principles set out in the performing arts guidance. This includes ensuring that congregation members follow social distancing rules. Social contact limits apply, meaning that households, support bubbles or groups of 2 must not mingle. Communal singing in other public open spaces should not take place.
“Indoors: a single small group of singers will be allowed to perform, or rehearse for performance, only where essential to an act of communal worship. This should be limited to as few singers as possible, with social distancing being maintained at all times. Communal singing should not take place.”
