On most Wednesdays of the year there is a concert in St Nicholas' at 2.00pm. Repertoire is usually classical, but jazz, folk and contemporary music is also represented in our programme. 

Wednesday recitals provide a perfect break during the day with tea, coffee and delicious homemade cake available before the music begins.  All are welcome to come and enjoy great music in our beautiful building.  Doors open at 1.30pm.

A donation towards recitals expenses of £5.00, or whatever you can afford, is appreciated. 

We welcome enquiries from potential recitalists, who should contact the parish administrator for further information.
