We will not be continuing with our project and will be winding down our programme of events here at All Saints’. Our final event will be on January 24 2027.
Over the past five years FOPC have enjoyed opening All Saints’ church to welcome the local community as well as visitors from far and wide. In this we have supported the church and the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) who own this wonderful building.
In planning for the future, however, FOPC and the CCT have had a difference of opinion. We have different views on how the church should be managed and how we should work together. We have therefore agreed with the CCT that we will continue our programme until January 2027. After that we will leave All Saints’ for the CCT to manage.
However we will be exploring other ways for our volunteer group to direct our energies, and we hope to find another venue where we can continue our series of concerts. If you have any ideas please let us know by contacting thepaintedchurchcambridge@gmail.com
In the meantime we will focus on the wonderful calendar of events that we have over the coming months and really make the best of the rest of our time together in this very special place.
Since our project launched with October Fest in autumn 2021, music lovers can look forward to recitals held on the first Sunday of every month, and every Sunday in October with recitals beginning at 1.15pm. In addition to these we have extra special concerts throughout the year with a very special Christmas carol concert in December.
As well as world class music you can enjoy exhibitions, Open Days, talks and tours. See below for listings of what's coming up at The Painted Church.
Tickets to all our events are available from our Trybooking Event Page
OPEN CAMBRIDGE AT THE PAINTED CHURCH
CONNECTIONS: An Assembly of Art and Objects from Rowan, All Saints' and the Museum of Cambridge
September 12, 13, 19, 20 from 1 – 5pm
Our fifth (and final) Open Cambridge features work by the student artists of Rowan. In collaboration with the Museum of Cambridge the students have taken for their inspiration objects from the museum's collection made by disabled people. Their artworks, displayed alongside historic items from the museum and The Painted Church, reflect artistic communities of the past and the marvels of modern conservation.
