Silverdale Renaissance

Crowd-funding Appeal for Silverdale Renaissance

Help us bring great live music to our community!

Silverdale Renaissance is a small, local, voluntary group that organises concerts of early and baroque music and singers’ workshops in Silverdale and Arnside.

We need funds so we can cover our costs without setting ticket prices at an unaffordable level.

The Lancashire Culture and Sport Fund has pledged £4,000 to our appeal, but only on condition that we raise the rest of the money. We are doing well but have £650 still to raise by the end of August.

Please support our appeal: every little helps! https://www.spacehive.com/bring-early-music-to-the-bay
