The Wooburn Festival was originally conceived over 50 years ago by one of Britain's leading orchestral conductors, the late Richard Hickox CBE. Richard's vision was to bring orchestras and musicians of international repute to the Chilterns and Thames Valley. Since then they have expanded to include the visual arts, film, interviews and talks. Their mission is to provide wider public access to affordable high quality events within easy reach of the local community.
Amersham Concert Club has been organising concerts in and around Amersham by outstanding professional musicians for over 50 years. Their concerts are an opportunity to hear current and future stars in an informal atmosphere.

Everyone is very welcome, including young people, and you do not have to join the Club to come to a concert. Concerts are held between October and March at Amersham Free Church.
