Please let us know your views on the start time for our concerts for 2027 onwards
Apart from our Christmas Cracker Concert that has started at 6pm, our concerts have traditionally started at 7:30pm. But we are aware that this can give quite a late finish - especially for some of our professional instrumentalists who have a long journey home after the concert - we are honoured that some come from afar afield as Exeter to support us! It also means a very late finish for our helpers clearing the staging at the end of the evening ready for the church service early on the Sunday morning.
We are also cognisant of the darker evenings drawing in and wonder whether an earlier start would better suit our audience members and singers. We are therefore experimenting with an earlier, 6:30pm start for our Autumn Concert this term.
We would welcome your feedback on the start time and what is best for you. .
If you would like to feedback now you can do so through the link below. Or please let us know your prefered start time moving forwards when you come along to the concert in November.
