Musical Punch Over Lunch Concert Series

We've got three months of smashing entertainment in store for you at our 2023 lunchtime concert series, Musical Punch Over Lunch!

This is the perfect opportunity to do something different, expand your horizons, take a breath and enjoy some wondrous and diverse local performances in the middle of the day.

Bring your lunch, take a pew, and unwind in a stunning heritage building.

Included in the 12-week programme is the superb Pacific Connection choir who will be performing on 8 June ahead of their trip to compete at the International Barbershop Harmony competition in Louisville, Kentucky. Amongst other incredible acts, we're also presenting two performances by the talented Royal New Zealand Airforce Band (RNZAF) musicians, a classical guitarist, a Brazilian folk duo, a Balkan singing ensemble, and a Celtic harpist!

Performances will be up to 45 minutes in duration.
