Based in Ashtead, Surrey, the Ashtead Singers were formed in the summer of 1986 at a time of year when most larger choral societies are in summer recess. Most of our number originally derived from the Ashtead Choral Society, but we are a separate entity. We are a mixed voice (SATB) choir of 25 members and within that number we have individuals who are soloists in their own right, as well as accomplished keyboard players.

Our musical interests and experience have developed over the years, and we now have a very broad repertoire of choral music, both sacred and secular. In recent years we have been regulars at The Queens's Free Chapel of St George, Windsor Castle, and at Worcester Cathedral, when the resident choirs are in recess. We have also led services at Bath Abbey, Gloucester Cathedral, Southwark Cathedral, Wimborne Minster and Pershore Abbey, and we have sung carols at St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Cathedral, London, for The London Fire Brigade. This connection led to a guest appearance as singing firemen in an episode of LWT's 'London's Burning'.

Our principal conductor is Dr Andrew Storey.
