The organ concert starts at 2.30pm and features an 'Organists on Parade' line-up of four organists: Alec Walters, David Ivory, David Lobban and Cameron Lloyd.
Doors open at 1.30pm. It costs £8 on the door.
Current Covid restrictions will apply, with masks being worn when not seated in bubbles, distancing and sanitising stations being provided at the venue. Raffle and refreshments available. For further details, telephone 01902 895576 or email: darrenrjones@hotmail.com.
The Shropshire Theatre Organ Trust is the club which maintains the Wurlitzer theatre organ at The Buttermarket. It also organises concerts and events, to raise money to maintain this antique instrument, one of only three Wurlitzers with its particular illuminated surround.
