We're delighted to have been invited to join Dame Fiona Reynolds, President of the Cirencester History Festival and now High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, for a special midsummer evening celebrating Gloucestershire’s rich musical and literary life in the beautiful surroundings of Cirencester Parish Church.

Enjoy performances from acclaimed concert pianist Clare Hammond and the Cheltenham-based Oriel Singers, alongside readings from the Dymock Poets – including Rupert Brooke and Robert Frost – by renowned historian and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby. Through music and words, the evening will evoke landscape, season and a shared love of the countryside, while raising funds for the High Sheriff’s Fund.

Friday 17th July, 7:30pm, Cirencester Parish Church. There will be no interval, but all ticket holders are invited to a post-concert drinks reception at which the High Sheriff awards will be presented.

The High Sheriff of Gloucestershire Fund is delivered by Gloucestershire Community Foundation and helps to create safer, healthier and more connected communities for Gloucestershire’s young people.

Tickets are £35 from cirencesterhistoryfestival.org.
