As part of our Saturdays at Noon 2023 series, we are delighted to welcome Simon Clarkson, formerly of Sherborne Girls' School, who will give a recital on the restored 1911 William Hill organ of Shrewsbury Abbey.

A retiring collection will be taken in aid of the Abbey Organ Fund.

Parking right opposite the Abbey in Abbey Foregate car park.

January 27th is Holocaust Memorial Day, when we remember victims of genocides around the world, and especially the victims of the Nazi Holocaust. To help us mark the day, there will be a reading by Jean Boase-Beier of Holocaust poems translated from languages as different as German, Hebrew, Yiddish and Polish. Each poem will be briefly introduced and set in context. In this way we can hear the voices of those who were later murdered because they were Jewish, or disabled, or who opposed the Nazis on religious or political grounds. We will also hear from those who survived, those who helped them, and those who reflect today on what we can learn from these terrible events. Free entry. There is a large car park in Abbey Foregate, right opposite the Abbey. Satnav: SY2 6BS

As part of our Sunday Afternoon series, we are privileged to welcome Tzan En Hsuan (cello) and Yiyi Su (piano) from the Royal Northern College of Music. Come to one, come to both - admission is free of charge and unticketed. There will be a retiring collection after the recital, which will go to support the ongoing work of Shrewsbury Choral and Shrewsbury Abbey. Shrewsbury Abbey is right opposite Abbey Foregate car park, which is free on Sundays. Postcode: SY2 6BS
