About
Join harpist, Eleonora Congiu and Shawn Mlynek, Tenor for music from Dowland, Montiverdi, Beethoven through to pop songs of the 50s and 60s.

Lighting: Light levels are low and this event will be by candlelight. We do not have electricity in the main body of the building.
Temperature: The building is over 800 years old and temperatures inside are usually lower than those outside. Please wrap up warmly.
Seating: Seating is in historic box pews which are fixed into position. Sight lines vary and seating is allocated on arrival. You may be required to share a box pew with others. Blankets are available on request, but you are welcome to bring your own blankets and cushions for your comfort.
Toilets: There is one toilet in the building. The facilities can only be accessed by speaking to our stewards. There are three steps up and the office where it is located may be locked. The cubical has handrail support and a changing table, but no bins. Please take rubbish away with you. The facilities can be reached by those requiring step free entry via an external door. There are alternative toilet facilities in The Old White Swan pub nextdoor.
Access: There are three steps up to access the toilet or flat access via an external route which may need to be unlocked. We would recommend using facilities elsewhere before or after the performance as far as possible.
