During this uncertain time we are looking at each concert booking at St Andrew and St Mark on an individual basis as to whether it can go ahead in line with the current government Covid guidance (January 2022). Thank you for your patience.
To book the churches for a concert, in the first instance please contact the parish office to discuss dates and logistics. A concert time is not booked until a completed and signed booking form is returned with a non-refundable booking deposit of £50.
Hire rates for 2022 for an afternoon rehearsal (from 1pm) and evening concert are:
Summer rate 2022 (May – Sept) £375 Winter rate 2022 (Oct –April) £425
If staging is not required the cost of hire is:
Summer rate 2022 (May – Sept) £325 Winter rate 2022 (Oct-April) £375
For chamber groups, and afternoon concerts when rehearsals are not required, an hourly rate will be charged. Please speak to the parish office about current hire rates.
If tuning of the piano or organ is required please arrange with the parish office. This tuning will be arranged with the regular tuner, which the hirer will be invoiced for.
We ask all concert organisers to ensure that they submit the correct information to the parish office for the appropriate return to be made for live performances at St Andrew or St Mark churches in regard to Performing Rights Society charges. If selling alcohol our Premises licence will cover you. Please speak to the parish office regarding arranging this cover.
