Key Information

In this post we have gathered together a few key pieces of information ahead of the weekend to help you plan your Festival experience.

If you have not yet received a copy of the participant register, please email eli@earlymusicshop.com.

Participants are welcome to arrive between 5-7pm at Titus Salt School, ready for a 7pm start in the Atrium for the informal drinks reception. The free Palisander concert will be starting at 7:30pm.

Please remember to bring a music stand with you to use in any playing sessions you are taking part in.

Please find a map of the key locations attached to this email. Please note that all sessions will take place within Titus Salt School, with the exception of Sarah Jeffery's Saturday evening concert, which will take place in the United Reformed Church.

Fiona Smith, our Festival Producer for this year's Recorder Festival, has gathered together her expert local knowledge of the area into a handy guide for everyone visiting this weekend. This guide will help you with recommendations of where to eat and shop in Saltaire and the neighbouring areas, as well as places to see and visit to make the most of your trip to this beautiful area. You can find a link to the guide HERE.

Parking is available at the school during the day. Cars left overnight must be left in the public car park down the road - Shipley Glen Tramway car park.

As well as lots of playing, there will also be lots of opportunity for shopping! We have included a list of all the stands that you will be able to visit at the weekend.
