Lunchtime Live!
All Saints' is host to Northampton's only regular lunchtime recital series. In recent years, the series has been expanded to
include a diverse range of musicians beyond that of organ music, such as singers, chamber musicians and pianists.
The series has become renowned in Northamptonshire and beyond for attracting musicians of the highest calibre to perform vocally,
on various wind and string instruments, and on either the piano, the
Walker Gallery Organ, the Hill & Son and
Norman & Beard Chancel Organ, and our Walker Chapel Organ.
Nowhere in Europe or indeed the world have I played in a building that has better acoustics. They
are absolutely perfect!
— Sir Yehudi Menhuin

Lunchtime Live! recitals are usually held on the first Thursday of each month at 1:10pm, excepting only January and August.
