We are a friendly amateur mixed choir of about 95 singers from Woking and the surrounding areas.
The choir regularly performs in Woking and has developed the assured reputation as one of Surrey’s leading choirs. The aim of the Epworth Choir is to promote the enjoyment of choral singing as a pleasurable activity, easily accessible to all.
Each Year the Choir performs a spectrum of music ranging from major choral works with professional soloists and orchestras, to popular music and carols at venues in Woking. As well as regular rehearsals and concerts, the choir participates in other events and members take part in choral workshops and social activities.
Epworth Choir was founded in 1958 by Walter Deakin who was the conductor for the first 23 years. The purpose of the choir was and still is, “To give and receive enjoyment through music whilst raising money for charitable causes“. So far Epworth Choir has raised over £400,000 for good causes.
The Choir had the privilege to perform as one of the two stage choirs at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, on two occasions.
Martha Littlehales was appointed Music Director of the Epworth Choir in September 2026 and Makoto James became the Choir’s Accompanist in September 2022
