Friday Lunchtime Concerts

Southwell Minster's popular series of Friday lunchtime concerts (FLAC) is back for 2025. These concerts take place at 1.30pm on many Fridays, with performers coming from around the country to perform a wide variety of instrumental and vocal music in the spectacular setting of the Cathedral Nave.

Admission is free and the concerts last approximately 45 minutes. There is a retiring collection the proceeds of which go towards the Minster's Milo Chorister Fund with helps support the Cathedral Chorister Programme. Please pick up a free programme upon your arrival.
