MUSIC AT LUNCHTIME

AND OTHER CONCERTS

Welcome to the MUSIC AT LUNCHTIME website!


MUSIC AT LUNCHTIME is a series of concerts (not too heavy!) given at Farnham United Reformed Church, South Street, Farnham, Surrey, on Tuesdays, usually the first Tuesday of the month, from October until the Spring. Concerts start at 1.10 p.m. and finish round about 1.50 p.m.

We sometimes hold other concerts at the church: for example see reviews here.

There is no charge for admission, but there is a retiring collection.
