Our Summer Concert for 2025 is our annual Pudding Concert, a feast for the ears and the taste buds! It’s a roughly one-hour programme of music and readings which is followed by delicious home-made puddings all included in the very modest ticket price! This year we celebrate the joy of singing itself with two settings of the text “Sing we and chant it” from the 16th and the 19th centuries along with traditional folk songs and music by composers including John Rutter, Paul Mealor, Zoltán Kodály and our own John-Paul Bowman. The concert is on Saturday 19th July at 7.30pm in Christ Church, Waterside and is not to be missed! Download the poster here.
