Here are the latest updates on this year's rehearsals for Hexham Abbey Festival Chorus. All rehearsals take place in Corbridge Middle School unless otherwise stated.
Rehearsals start at 7:30pm prompt with a warm-up but you are advised to arrive rather sooner than this, especially for the first one, when you may have to pick up your music, unless you have your own copies. Rehearsals finish at 9:30pm.
The rehearsals are expected to be as follows:
May - 15th, 22nd
June - 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th

Directions to Corbridge Middle School
Corbridge Middle School is close to the A68 junction off the A69 and there is plenty of parking on-site. Early arrivals can park at the front of the school but, if this is full, take the lane to the left and drive round to the back of the school. Alternatively you can turn left just before the school gates, drive up Cow Lane and park in the parking area where the new houses have been built.
If you do park here, please do not attempt to drive over the grid or you will certainly damage it.
