A MUSIC festival celebrating orchestral, choral and chamber music is set to return to a town’s events calendar.

St Mary’s Church in Horsham is hosting the English Music Festival later this month.

It will be the 14th time the festival will be held at the church.

It is the latest among many venues hoping to welcome back visitors, and organisers want to make a big impression again this year.

Coronavirus rules will change on May 17 to allow venues such as pubs and restaurants to reopen with social distancing measures.

The English Music Festival will be taking place at St Marys Church, Horsham in May, including performances by the New Foxtrot Serenaders and by baritone singer Roderick Williams
