The event, which was held on Saturday, November 22 and sponsored by the Minster Press, was organised by the owner, Chris Slocock and raised £1,000 on the evening for the Minster Makes Music appeal.

An additional £250 was promised by Ferndown Lodge Freemasons, in memory of masons who died building the Minster and in support of the Minster Makes Music appeal.

The evening was introduced by a Quarter Peal rung on the Minster bells and classic film music was played to the audience before the concert began.

The first piece of music was played by organist Colin Davey followed by a talk on the Minster's early history by historian Christine Oliver.

Minster lay clerk Rafal Ghazawy then sang two songs, accompanied by Sam Hanson on the piano.

An interval with refreshments provided by Yahu Slocock was enjoyed by the attendees before Esther Davey, Head Chorister at the Minster, sang two pieces, also accompanied by her father Colin on the piano.

Following this, there was another item performed by Sam Hanson before Christine Oliver brought the history of the Minster up to the present day.
