Saturday 10th October 2026 7:30PM
The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace is a mass by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins written in reflection of the passing of ‘the most war-torn and destructive century in human history’ and as a message of hope that the world of the future would have more peace and fewer wars.
This event is often popular with singers and is set to be another highlight in the year. Audiences can enjoy the performance at the reduced rate of only £5.
Singers Registration 1.45pm;
Rehearsal 2.30pm – 5.00pm;
Performance 7.30pm
A popular feature in our calendar, offering a chance for singers from far and wide to join in music making, rehearsing and performing a work in one day, under the expert guidance of conductor Ian Smith.
The price for singers includes score hire and tea/coffee.
Additional information for singers:
The suggested dress code is black bottom and a single colour top, but we always say we’d rather singers be comfortable than not sing because they haven’t got the right thing to wear.
If travelling by train, the church is about a 10 minute taxi ride from the station.
There is unrestricted parking on the roads surrounding the church.
The number 7 bus route runs along Kimbolton Road from the town centre and the nearest stop is just a short walk away.
The hall will be open all afternoon so you can stay there between rehearsal and the performance (usually 1.5hrs) or there is a nice pub serving food just across the road.
