An evening of Celtic Funk, folk and Americana music will raise funds to help people with learning disabilities in Wokingham borough.
The Walnuts With Bells On event features Twyford-based band The Walnuts and the bells of St Nicholas Church, Hurst.
It all starts opposite the church, in The Castle Inn on Saturday, June 17 at 6pm with landlord Matt Brown’s special pizzas on sale and a fiddler playing.
Then the audience will pick up their drinks and process, following a Scottish piper, into the church.
The procession will also be accompanied by the sound of the St Nicholas Church bells being rung.
The concert starts at 7.30pm, and the audience is welcome to dance along to it.
Drinks will be available in church and there will be a raffle for a summer hamper.
The charity being supported is CLASP, a self advocacy group for people with learning difficulties in Wokingham borough.
St Nicholas Church is also hosting a lunch that day for CLASP members in the community orchard opposite the church. There will be pizzas from the Castle Inn, drinks and ice cream. The Walnuts will play some tunes for that event.
The Walnuts have toured in Scotland and mainland Europe. They raise money for charities by playing concerts in people’s front rooms, back gardens, kitchens, village halls, churches, islands, boats, shop fronts, service stations, lighthouses and vineyards.
Most of the band are based around Wokingham borough.
