General description
The Beverley and East Riding Early Music Festival is designed to highlight the musical and architectural heritage of the county town of Beverley and the historic churches of the East Riding. Established in 1988 to reflect the music of the myriad of stone and wood carvings of musicians living and working in the East Riding in the medieval period, the Festival includes orchestral concerts which take place in Beverley Minster alongside smaller instrumental and vocal ensembles presented in churches around the Riding as well as illustrated lectures, walks, talks, children’s events and workshops for adults.
Performance space details
The historic 830-seat Concert Hall and the intimate 112-seat Recital Room, together with a selection of smaller rooms, and full backstage and catering facilities, are available for hire for concerts, conferences and other events.
