Melford Music was created in 2008 after the closure of the Long Melford Music Society in 2007 so that the popular summer Lunchtime Recitals could continue to run from mid-May until mid-September each year. The Recitals are an important part of Long Melford's summer entertainment programme and valuable funds are raised for the maintenance of the fabric of Holy Trinity Church.

About Melford Music 2012 Season

For almost five centuries the picturesque turrets of Melford Hall have dominated Long Melford's village green. Devastated by fire in 1942, the house was nutured back to life by the Hyde Parker family and it remains their much-loved family home to this day. The interior decoration and furnishings chart changing tastes and fashions over the centuries, but it is the stories of family life at Melford - from visits by their relation Beatrix Potter with her menagerie of animals, through to children sliding down the grand staircase on trays - that make this house more than just bricks and mortar.
