Summer: Brass on the Grass
Soak up the summer atmosphere with live music in the beautiful surroundings of Westminster Abbey’s historic College Garden.

Offering the perfect lunchtime escape, delicious cakes and hot drinks will be available to purchase from Benugo in the garden throughout the concert. In case of wet weather, performances will take place in St Margaret’s Church.
Come along, relax, and let the music lift your spirits. Admission is free, donations are welcome to support the bands and help cover their expenses.
