The gloriously feel-good romantic comedy by Jane Austen is being staged at Holy Trinity Church in Guildford, just a five minute stroll from Mandolay, the venue itself is the largest Georgian Church in Surrey, and regularly hosts large scale musical, and theatrical productions…the Georgians knew a thing or two about acoustics!
Guildford Cathedral is host to a Family Fun Day on February 13th, while February 14th sees the BBC Radio 3 broadcasting live from Choral Evensong.

Have a great month!
