The Friends of the Church of St Hubert, Idsworth Trust and the Parochial Church Council are keen to let you know about some exciting events that will be happening in 2026. The focus is on music at the church and will consist of a series of six concerts and the popular annual Music Picnic.
From early plainsong and simple psalms to hymns, anthems and choirs, music has shaped and been shaped by St Hubert’s for generations.
And so it’s fitting that this breath-taking church is the setting for a new series of musical performances this year where history, place and live music meet in the most memorable way.
We’ve pulled together some incredible performers and you can see all the details and buy tickets for the Concert Series at our dedicated website https://sthubertsmusic.co.uk.
We only have 70 tickets available for each performance of the Concert Series inside the church and expect them to go quickly. We’d love you to be there, as well as helping us to spread the word as far and wide as you can.
Whether you are a lifelong music lover or simply curious to try something new, these concerts offer the chance to enjoy outstanding live performance in one of Hampshire’s most memorable places. ‘One Word, Many Notes’ is about bringing people together, celebrating great music and creating shared moments of joy, reflection and community through the power of music.
