Music in the Meadow

As part of our celebrations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Whitchurch Conservation Group is excited to announce that it will be hosting a FREE live music event – ‘Music in the Meadow’ – on Sunday 5th June (11am – 4pm) at the Millennium Meadow in Whitchurch.

Held with kind permission from the Whitchurch Millennium Green Trust, this free open-air concert from 11am to 4pm will feature a ‘Proms in the Park’ style performance on stage from the Nova Foresta Classical Players orchestra who will play a selection of popular music culminating in a rousing climax with the playing of traditional favourites including Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia.

Whitchurch Folk Club and the Whitchurch Singing for Fun Choir will also be performing.

There will be children’s activities throughout the day from Basingstoke- based Anvil Arts The Musication Station and Proteus Theatre / Scratchbuilt Shed of Stories.

Tickets for the event are free, but attendees are encouraged to register for the event in advance to help with planning. A free Jubilee hand-flag per family/group is offered! https://www.tickettailor.com/…/whitchurchconserv…/684439

We have opportunities for you to seek out wildlife, history or culture, visit a farm, follow an accessible trail, picnic with the family, improve your navigation skills or simply to soak up the views from the top of the downs.

Many of the walks are free.
