TUESDAY LUNCHTIME RECITALS Take place each week at 13:10 for around 40 minutes. The recitals are free with a retiring collection. This year, many of our lunchtime recitals will feature students from Southampton University and there will be a wide variety of instrumental, vocal and organ recitals on the 1886 Walker organ. Monies raised from concerts go to the Friends of Romsey Abbey Music, supporting the young choristers, choral scholars and musicians of the Abbey. Bring your lunch or grab a coffee from town and enjoy an informal half-hour or so of good music in wonderful surroundings. 10
