What's On 2 in Battersea (full details) The Battersea Society website 


What's on in Battersea

Every year we arrange a wide range of events, visits to historic buildings, and talks or public meetings on topics of local interest or concern. Members' only events will be clearly designated as Private, other society-organised events are open to the public. Of course you can join the Society very easily via our online membership page. This list also includes other events taking place locally or elsewhere in London which you may find of interest.

If you wish to pay by cheque you should download a booking form (which also contains details of other events).

If you'd rather check out forthcoming events in a simple list you'll find that here.

A Musical Evening Visit to Westminster Abbey
Time: 7.00pm-9.15pm

The Purcell Club is made up of old choristers of the Abbey choir. Visitors assemble in the nave where a piece of sacred music is sung. They then proceed along the nave accompanied by a speaker who
provides a detailed history of the Abbey and significant places within it.

At suitable points there is a pause to hear a further piece of music.

The Society has been allocated 15 tickets. As the tour is very popular, the Purcell Club want to know the numbers attending by the end of August.

Cost (per person): £41 (in advance)
