Please see final details below for our last two events of the term. Our event on July 26th marks the end of term and rehearsals will then start back the week of September 8th.
For Bracknell Choir, as we have learnt the repertoire so quickly, we’ve added a couple more for July 26th: Everything’s Coming Up Roses and Kiss from a Rose. Please bring these along to remaining rehearsals with the other scores.
For Wokingham Choir, we have a one-off venue change for our rehearsal on Monday July 21st. This will be at Wokingham Baptist Church, RG40 1DE, at the usual time.
Many thanks for your attention,

Venue
Entrance to the church is via the glass door on The Cornerstone side. We will have the Lady Chapel and space behind the staging to store coats and bags. Please bear in mind we won’t have a separate backstage/lockable space – you may wish to arrive in (or partly in) concert dress or can use the toilets to change. During the evening, we will have access to the toilets in The Cornerstone as well as those in the church.
Parking
The church has a small car park in Norrey’s Avenue opposite The Cornerstone including spaces for audience wheelchair users. If this is otherwise full, car parks nearby are Rose Street, Easthampstead Road and Waitrose. We understand Waitrose parking is free of charge from 6pm, not before. Please double check at the shop. For those with mobility issues, there is also limited space in front of The Cornerstone for drop off.
