By the Fireside at Bradford-on-Avon

Trio Paradis play a Café Concert on the first Thursday of each month (Feb-Dec) at 10.45am at Holy Trinity Church: informal feel-good music events with a café open from c10am where you can meet friends and make new ones over tea/coffee and home-made cakes, and enjoy live music.

December’s programme is a collection of seasonal music with a warming feel: some inspired by fire itself, alongside contrasting lullabies and other beautiful melodies to calm the spirits. Music by Vivaldi, Fauré, Vladimir Rebikov and others.

The concert lasts around 45mins and entrance - or rather, exit! - is by pay-what-you-feel donation, with a retiring collection. There's no need to book, although RSVPs are appreciated - just turn up early for best seats and choice of cake as these concerts are very popular.
