Raydon Summer Concert
Benefice Pilgrimage of Song
A walk of around six miles through the heart of Constable Country, taking in Stratford St Mary, East Bergholt, Dedham, Flatford and Lawford. We sing a short service at each church along the way, and end with a hot meal.
WORKSHOP
The day begins with a workshop in which we learn the music to be sung at churches on our route. There will be a variety of music to suit varying abilities, including both experienced choral singers and those who just enjoy singing the tune.
WALK and SERVICES
Our route links four "St Mary's" churches. Starting at Stratford St Mary we walk to East Bergholt, then to Dedham. From there we follow the beautiful River Stour, passing Flatford Mill, and ending at Lawford Church.
WHO IS LEADING?
The event will be directed by Richard Hubbard (Artistic Director of Cantus Firmus, and Music Development Director at St Edmundsbury Cathedral).
MEAL
After the final service there will be a meal in the church hall at Lawford.
TRANSPORT
Parking is available at either end of the route. Walkers are encouraged to share transport, leaving a vehicle at either end. If you don't have anyone to pair up with, we will help you organise that when you book.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
There is a suggested donation of £21 per person (under 18s free), to cover the costs of the event, including provision of music scores for the day. Donations can be more or less than the suggested amount.
The meal is an optional extra, at a cost of £10 per person.
