Regular Concerts – recommence on September 6th 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Friends of Bathurst War Memorial Carillon are proud to present regular, free concerts in Kings Parade. These will be every second Saturday at 1pm, and played by Bathurst carillonists, and, on occasion, visiting carillonists. Programs will be varied, with details to be posted on our Facebook page on Fridays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently having a break for winter so our hardworking carillonists can rest and prepare new repertoire. We will be back on September 6th for the start of the Spring Recital Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beatlesfest 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to be participating in Beatlesfest on 23rd August with a full concert of Beatles music, especially arranged for carillon by Bathurst carillonists, Jennifer Roberts and Wendy Murphy. Details and times to be confirmed, but this is one not to be missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
