Good Friday 3 April – St Peter & St Paul’s Church Lavenham

If you have attended the workshop / rehearsal on Palm Sunday then you are warmly invited to join these further performances.

If you are unable to join us for the workshop/rehearsal on Palm Sunday at Woolpit, but would like to sing at Lavenham or Horringer, then if you are sufficiently familiar with the music or are able to join some of our additional regular rehearsals (see below), then you would be welcome to do that.

Copies of the Music

If you have copies of the music already that’s great, but if not then you can download and print yourself, or we can lend you a copy (let us know which when you register)
