Arts events
At All Hallows we have a tradition of putting on and hosting community arts events going back many years. Here’s some information about two such events.
Concerts by the Sacred Wing
The Sacred Wing happens because some members of Gay Abandon and some members of the congregation of All Hallows like to sing sacred choral music and get a few friends to join in.
For several years now, the Sacred Wing have given regular annual concerts, followed by Christmas carols and readings. These have been extremely successful events — the church has been full, the performances excellent, and everyone has had a wonderful evening. The concerts are free, but the audiences have given very generously, and significant amounts have been raised for AIDS charities.
For further information, including details of this year's concert and past concerts, visit the Sacred Wing’s excellent website.
