For a perfect English summer's day out, combine the small, charming cathedral city of Chichester and fine choral music in its Gothic cathedral on last weekend July: Thirty members of Thames Philharmonic Choir sing anthems, psalms, and settings by such luminaries of choral music as Howells, Dyson and Stanford, at cathedral services Friday to Sunday 26-19 July, while the resident choir takes a break. The cathedral is a glorious mixture of medieval and modern, with dazzling stained glass window by Marc Chagall. www.chichestercathedral.org.uk/
