The Sunday evening service takes the traditional form of Choral Evensong, which is also held on Wednesday and Friday evenings during term. Morning and evening prayer is said daily, and at other times some like to use the stillness for their own prayer. Baptisms, confirmations, and weddings are also conducted for members or former members of the College.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} [[File:The Queen's College Upper Library.jpg|thumb|284x284px|The Baroque Upper Library (feat. one of the C18 Senex globes)]]
