Hereford Companion Voices at the Abbey

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Dore Abbey
Dore Abbey, Abbeydore Hereford, HR2 0AA, United Kingdom
Hereford Companion Voices will be coming to the Abbey on the evening of Thursday 24th October and would love to give you an experience of what they offer. They will speak about what they do and there will be opportunities to ask questions. They are also going to sing some of their repertoire. This will be more of an immersive experience than a performance. Please bring a blanket to be warm and comfortable. You may wish to lie on the floor for this experience and could bring a yoga mat.

Companion Voices is a UK based charity, started at the end of 2014 in Brighton by composer and choir leader Judith Silver, inspired by the Threshold choirs in the US. It is made up of small groups around the country who sing at the bedsides of people who are at the end of life.

Turnastone: St Mary Magdalene

Turnastone was one of the smallest parishes in Herefordshire, with a handful of dwellings and mostly farm pasture land. The church building dates from the late 12th/early 13th century with a handsome barrel roof dated about 1500. A guide book and history leaflet is available at the church. In 2019 the parish merged with neighbouring Vowchurch parish, and both church buildings continue in use.
