🎶✨ Kicking Off The Big Lunch in Style! ✨🎶

We’re so lucky to have some wonderful performers giving up part of their Sunday to be with us and entertain our amazing community 💛

First up – The Ciren Band! 🎺🥁

What better way to start the day than with their fantastic sound, kicking things off at 12 noon sharp.

We’re trying something a little different this year too…
🎼 The band will be performing from the Balustrade instead of the bandstand, giving them more space and the perfect position to play you all in as the event begins!

Make sure you don’t miss the start of this brilliant community celebration – and what promises to be an amazing performance filled with classic sounds across the Abbey Grounds 🎶
