Lunchtime Concerts

Wednesday 25 February to Wednesday 15 July

Music

Please be advised that demand for seats for our ‘pay what you can’ lunchtime concert events is high. You are encouraged to book your ticket in advance either online, in person or by phone. This will secure you a seat.

You can also book a ticket from the box office on the day but please be aware that you may not get a seat if the event is fully booked. However, if you do not have a ticket, we will try to accommodate you, if possible, but you will be asked to wait until just before the start as priority will always be given to ticket holders.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Join us for our popular lunchtime Concerts taking place in Chelmsford Theatre Studio.

Come and grab a drink or a bite to eat at the theatre café and enjoy a toe tapping interlude every month from 1pm.
