Booking
The Aylesbury Lunchtime Music concerts are very popular with musicians. Scheduling begins after Easter for the following year.
Performances
Concerts are held on a Thursday at 12:45 (except August and over Christmas) and last around one hour.
Rehearsals
The church is available 10:30-12:00 before the concert for you to practise. Note that at 12:00 there is a service so rehearsals must have finished by then.
Fees
We are currently able to offer £140 per musician (up to quintets). This is inclusive of expenses. Larger ensembles will be negotiated.
Venue
St Mary’s Church is a Grade I listed building with excellent acoustics. The piano is a Kawai Grand and music stands are available. If you need a page turner we MAY be able to assist but need lots of notice.
Audience
We have a knowledgeable and attentive audience who welcome explanations of lesser known works. They are much appreciated by performers who often request to return.

Parking
With prior agreement you can park within St Mary’s Church grounds. Note that the gates are narrow and there is only room for a few cars. Use HP20 2QP for satnav. Alternatively, there are two car parks within easy walking distance on Whitehall Street and Buckingham Street.
Lifts from the station
Both Aylesbury train station and Aylesbury bus station are a 5-10 minute walk away from St Mary’s Church. If you require a lift, please let us know your arrival time. It is also helpful to have a phone number in case of delays.
