Evenitto's guide · the whole of the UK
Free classical concerts
You don't need a ticket to hear great music. Halls, conservatoires and churches hold free and pay-what-you-like concerts all year, and many cities have a lunchtime series.
Where free music happens
Free
Lunchtime concerts
Many churches, halls and cathedrals in the UK's big cities hold lunchtime concerts on weekdays: about an hour of music at midday, free or for a donation or a small charge. The organiser's page says which.
Free
Conservatoire concerts
The UK's conservatoires, such as the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music, give student concerts that anyone can attend, many of them free or cheap.
Free
Churches and organs
Cathedrals and churches hold organ recitals and choral evensong, a service sung by the choir that anyone can attend; entry is often free, with a collection at the door.
Free
Open rehearsals
Some orchestras open their rehearsals to the public. Look for 'open rehearsal' in the agenda.
