We hold about 25 concerts (mainly classical) each year at Holy Trinity Church in the middle of Warrington. These are normally between 1:45 and 2:30 on Saturdays and attended by about 50 to 90 people. Whilst the concerts are free they are funded by donations received through voluntary retiring collections.
We’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2025! With our best
wishes for this joyful season, Sharon, Diane, Brian, Irina, Helen and Gina!
We look forward to seeing you at our first Spring 2025 concert on 8th February which is being given by the Luna Piano Trio.
The programme for our Spring 2025 Series can be seen on the Concert Programme page.

Sir Stephen Hough Concert 1st December 2024.
What a fabulous close to our 2024 season! We couldn’t have asked for more!
Sir Stephen Hough played a sublime programme, to a packed and joyful audience, at St Wilfrid’s Church in Grappenhall!
Chaminade was a gentle and delightful surprise, Schumann virtuosic and tempestuous, Hough a nostalgic reminiscence and Chopin intense yet lyrical.
The audience were delighted and in awe and Sir Stephen reported that he had had a great evening playing to an audience full of old friends and neighbours!
We are full of gratitude to Stephen for playing this concert – how fortunate we are to have his support and for him to have shared this time with us.
This concert was in celebration of WACIDOM’s 500th Concert. We now look forward to celebrating our 600th!
Sharon Cannell
Chairman WACIDOM
WACIDOM is a voluntary run music society and charity that holds free lunchtime concerts on Saturday afternoons at Holy Trinity Church in Warrington Town Centre. All our concerts are funded by donations.
Our main aim is to offer opportunities to young student musicians, most often from the Royal Northern College of Music and Chetham’s School of Music, but sometimes further afield. We also support musicians at the start of their careers as they build repertoire, confidence and platform skills.
This year we celebrated our 500th free concert which was played by Patron, Leon McCawley and Sir Stephen has kindly offered to play this concert, to bring our celebratory year to a close.
Sir Stephen asked that donations were to go to WACIDOM to support our work with young and aspiring musicians. He was there once!
