Holding a Concert at Christ Church
Why choose Christ Church for a concert?
Christ Church, West Didsbury has a reputation as an ideal venue for small to medium size concerts.
The church was built in 1882 and originally had pews and very fixed furnishings. In the last century, the fixed pew seating was removed and replaced with padded chairs which can be placed in any desired configuration.
The Church’s lofty roof and hard plaster walls help the acoustic by reflecting sound rather than absorbing it.
We have also held music festivals and have experience of coordinating events of all sizes.
