History will be made on 2 April when the King and Queen attend the Royal Maundy Service at St Asaph Cathedral—the first time this ancient tradition has been held in North Wales and only the second time ever in Wales in its 800-year history. This is a remarkable moment for the Church in Wales and a profound honour for the Welsh church community.

During the service, His Majesty will present Royal Maundy gifts to 77 men and 77 women, each chosen for their outstanding Christian service. The event will feature specially commissioned music by Welsh composers and will mark the first meeting between the King and the newly appointed Archbishop of Wales, The Most Reverend Cherry Vann. This gathering of faith, history, and service reminds us of the enduring role of the church in national life and the beauty of traditions that connect us to centuries of Christian witness.
