Reviews on performances

"Gyles Brandreth was absolutely excellent.  Bring him back".

The literary event "George III The Most Cultured Monarch was absolutely excellent.  Oliver Everett was a magnificent speaker".

"Iden Church was an excellent venue for Gilbert and Sullivan.  A wonderful evening".

Reviews from Performers

"The concert was a pure pleasure - the audience was so attentive and kind. Also we loved the venue, and we commented between ourselves that we would love to take this church to Warsaw, where we are looking for a good chamber place to play our concerts."
 
Michal Pepow, cellist Royal String Quartet

 "Thanks so much for a very happy afternoon at Rye - a lovely audience, a lovely reception, a happy event!"
