The concerts at St Botolph's Church, Trunch, were established in 1998 and have gone from strength to strength to now celebrate their 13th season.
Your support for the concerts and events helps to keep St Botolph's standing. One of Norfolk's finest churches, it is a uniquely beautiful building both for worship and music-making. In 2005 the tower was secured from splitting. In 2010 the chancel roof was repaired. This year the historic 1808 Wm Gray organ will be restored. All concert proceeds will continue to be donated to St Botolph’s Church restoration projects. The Church and community would like to thank both the audiences and the performers for their generosity. Since 1998 the concerts have raised over £10,000 towards these projects. Thanks too to the dynamic Trunch Village Society for its support for publicity.
Perfomers reserve the right to change their programmes from those indicated in the brochure or website. The organising team will take reasonable steps to give notice if any concert has to be postponed or cancelled. Please check this website for up to date information closer to the dates of the concert.
