Charity Concert to raise funds for the Children’s Bereavement Centre

This magical evening is set to take place on Saturday 17 May 2025 at 7.30pm at the Palace Theatre and brings together the Nottingham Symphonic Wind Orchestra and the Southwell Minister School Choir in a night not to forgot.  The show will bring iconic songs from your favourite films to life, right here on stage in the heart of Newark. Audiences will be transported to galaxies far, far away as the orchestra performs legendary themes from classics such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, The Incredibles, and Pirates of the Caribbean.  

This spectacular event aims to raise vital funds for the Children’s Bereavement Centre, with all proceeds going towards this local charity dedicated to supporting bereaved children, young people, and their families. By attending this concert, audiences will not only experience the magic of live music but also contribute to a truly meaningful cause.

“The support from the Nottingham Symphonic Wind Orchestra is truly incredible,” said Katie Gibson from the Children’s Bereavement Centre. “This concert will not only be a fantastic night of music but will also make a real difference in the lives of local children and families coping with the loss of a loved one.”

The Children’s Bereavement Centre are passionate about supporting every grieving child and young person, providing specialist care, advice, and guidance when they need it.
