St. Mary's has been a popular venue for concerts for decades. The wonderful acoustics and inclusive intimate space make it a must for touring groups and artists. It also plays host to The Fairford and Lechlade Choral Society who host two concerts a year at the church. It has has even been known to host a tribute band or two.
Such is it popularity that in 2025 we have launched Music at St.Marys. A banner under which all concerts which are held in the church will be celebrated.
2025 is going to be a huge burden on the church's funds and St.Marys is hosting a number of concerts all the raise money for the various projects, including the church roof and other on going projects and services.
We plan to play host to a series of musical concerts this year to raise money and the profile of our beautiful church.
17th May – an afternoon concert with organist Keith Hearnshaw with refreshments.
28th July – a late afternoon concert with cellist Orlando Jopling with refreshments
23rd September – the internationally acclaimed Carducci Quartet returns in a very special evening concert accompanied by the peerless baritone, Roderick Williams OBE.
29th November – Fairford & District Choral Society Winter Concert
13th December - Coln Choir Concert
This is an exciting programme, and it needs good organisation. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help make these events a success. If you would like to help with making these concerts a success in raising money for the church, please speak to a member of the PCC
