Gig - St Albans Abbey

OVERVIEW

Carol Concert for The Hospice Of St Francis, with us and two other choirs!

TIMINGS

12:30pm Call Time We'll meet at The Welcome Centre. Please walk in (or drop off) via Sumpter Yard entrance (See map below)

12:55pm: Soundcheck (15 minutes)

1:15pm: Doors open for audience arrivals 

1.50pm: Choir into position (Choir stalls in the nave) 

2.00pm: Concert Starts (1hr) 

PARKING 

London Road Car Park is the closest. If that one fills up there are other car parks around St Albans, but please allow time to wander over!  Disabled parking: There are very limited spaces at the cathedral, but these can’t be booked for Sundays, so it’ll be a case of turning up and seeing what’s available I’m afraid.

DRESS CODE

Smart all black attire. It's cold in the church so I highly recommend layers. Black sparkly jumpers welcome!!

GREEN ROOM

We have a green room (Offa Room) we can be in before and after soundcheck. Just make sure you're in the chapel ready to sing at 12:55pm as we only have 15 minutes top soundcheck, and that includes getting into position onstage, which usually takes about 10 minutes!!!
