For our Free Friday Lunchtime Concert, you can read the digital concert programme. For our BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert series, printed programmes are available from stewards on the day.

Dress Code

There is no dress code for our concerts, other than for the people on stage. Please just come as you feel comfortable.
