Most of our concerts are held at Eye Parish Church, regarded as one of the grandest in Suffolk, not only on the outside, but also with regards to the treasures within. The rood screen that the choir performs in front of is something to behold, being described as “easily the best 20th Century work in Suffolk”, and which has been the subject of an extensive restoration process. The Choir rehearses in Eye Town Hall on Friday evenings, and holds its post concert entertaining for the audience. We also perform in the lofty Italianate and newly refurbished Eye Town Hall in our Christmas and Summer Concerts. There is plenty of parking for concerts as follows:

• In the town car park at Cross Street (IP23 7AB) adjacent to the Queens Head pub in the middle of town, about 8 minutes walk from the Church
• At the public car park at Buckshorne Lane off Church Street (IP23 7AZ), about 3 minutes walk from the Church
• On street parking with residents in Church Street

For concerts at the Town Hall, the Cross Street car park would be the nearest.
