COFFEE, CAKE & KEYS – ST JOHN’S CHURCH, LEEDS

You are invited to St John’s Church in Leeds on Thursday 31st March at 11.00 am for the first session of Coffee, Cake & Keys.
 
Coffee, Cake & Keys is a chance to listen to organ and piano music with refreshments and chat about organs, pianos, church music, choral and more. What’s more, the tea, coffee and cake will be provided for free!
 
St John’s Church is the oldest parish church in the city of Leeds and one of 350 churches in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust, the national charity protecting historic churches no longer needed to regular worship. The organ at St John’s was built by Forster & Andrews of Hull in 1864 – more information here. The architecture and historic furnishings are magnificent.
