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
TUESDAY 20TH MAY AT 7.30 PM
Film screening
The Man Who Painted His House
All Saints' is hosting the screening of a short film exploring the craft and legacy of David Parr. It will be a very special evening at The Painted Church, a place where David Parr himself once painted as part of his work with F. R. Leach & Sons.
The film is the outcome of an 18-month-long research project led by Dr Victoria Mills from Birkbeck, University of London & The Jarman Lab, collaborating with David Parr House. The screening will be accompanied by a live performance of Richard Uttley’s original score for viola and piano, inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement.
This isn’t just the story of one man. As Dr Mills, who leads the British Academy-funded project behind the film, explains:
"The film brings much-needed attention to the overlooked role of the ‘art-workman’ - the skilled, working-class artists whose hands shaped some of the most beautiful interiors of the 19th century, yet whose names rarely appear in the history books."
Tickets are available from £15 and you can buy them here.
