Santiago’s café will be open until the end of the interval, serving teas and coffees and soft drinks. Please note that alcohol is not permitted in the Priory or in the courtyard.

TOILETS
We have just been informed that, due to a leak, the regular loos are out of action. There is an accessible toilet inside the venue, and portaloos just outside. We would politely ask you to keep the accessible toilet free for those who need it, and use the portaloos if you are able.

Can’t wait to sing for you!
