Concerts at St Peter's 

​

St Peter's Church is a popular venue for a variety of daytime recitals and evening concerts.

​

There are regular concerts by a range of different performers including chamber choirs, orchestras and individual recitalists.  St Peter's is also one of the venues for the biennial St Albans International Organ Festival and Competitions.

​

Following completion of our building work to replace the nave floor we are now able to take bookings for concerts for 2026/ 2027.  The church is a beautiful, light space ideal for concerts and performances and now has flexible seating to accommodate up to 300 people in the nave.  

​

We hold Lunchtime recitals on Wednesday at 1pm every week during term time and these raise money for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice.  More information available here.

​

If you would like more information about holding a concert at St Peter's please contact Carolyn in the church office on c.alexander@stpeterschurch.uk.com
