There was once a large male voice choir which has depleted slightly in recent years. Though music is still an essential part of worship with the majority of the services being sung by the St Peter Mancroft Choral Scholars. The baroque style organ, one of the finest of its kind, means that St Peter Mancroft is also an exceptional concert venue with many concerts being held all the year round.
