Stilton Charity Concerts
All concerts take place on a Sunday afternoon commencing at 2.30pm (doors open 1.45pm). The current admission price as and from March 2019 is £10.00 which includes interval refreshments (tea, coffee, cold drinks and biscuits) and is payable at the door.
Any proceeds from the concerts will aid local charities or good causes although, for the first year and a half, I contributed to the running of the new centre and to purchase items such as curtaining for the main hall (now done Jan ‘19). The total donations amounted to £975 over that period. However, with the sudden large rise in the hall hire charges, any money left over in future will go to local charities.*
Currently run under the "Your Kind of Music" banner and based on an idea and help from Elizabeth Harrison, we have grown our audience to become successful at this great venue. Although I head the organisation I would not be able to run it without immeasurable help from my team.
This was a new venture having started in April 2017 and your support has been most appreciated to help us keep the music going! For further details please give me a call. With audiences increasing in numbers during 2018, with many new to the scene, it was decided to produce an outstanding programme of events for 2019 with some of the best players available. One special artiste was no less than Claudia Hirschfeld who appeared on Sunday 5th May and we are delighted she included Stilton in her UK tour as it was a total success with 114 in attendance. The year continued with top class players and, although I fixed the concert dates and artistes for 2020, we all know what happened and only Jon Smith and Lee Dewsnap played in February and March before that damned Covid struck.
2023 - we are now back to regular monthly concerts normally on the first Sunday of the month unless otherwise notified.
2024 - our new programme of Showtime events is listed below and is full of top line artistes who should provide a wide selection of great music.
Please note that there are two concerts in June as July dates unavailable.
