Mansfield has an active music life. There are concerts throughout the academic year, which bring together the chapel choir and College instrumentalists in the performance of many different styles of music. Students also lead a popular Christmas carol service.

The College chapel has a wonderful acoustic. A fine piano and organ are available for student use, but students are also most welcome to take their own instruments into the chapel for practice.

Much of the musical expression at Mansfield depends on the interests and talents of college members from year to year. Recently, for example, there has been an institution of a termly open mic night, which is always an especially popular and enjoyable evening, as well as a successful jazz and cocktails evening.
