The organ marathon due to take place tomorrow (Saturday) will be postponed until 22nd July. This is to allow visitors to grieve properly.

St Ann’s Organist Simon Passmore is performing an Organ Marathon of requests to raise funds for:

a) the cleaning of the organ at St Ann’s (which hasn’t been done for over 20 years)
b) as a result of the cleaning, the installation of a zimbelstern in memory of our former Director of Music Canon Ronald Frost

Refreshments will be served throughout the day. Each recital will be 45-50 mins long.
