Concert in aid of St Cadoc's Church, Caerleon

Come and hear us singing in St Cadoc's Church, Caerleon at 7.30pm on Friday 19th September 2025.

Tickets £10.00 each, available from choir members, Tim Ford (details below) or at the door. Proceeds in aid of St Cadoc's Restoration Fund.

This ancient church has recently undergone a major refurbishment that has taken it straight into the 21st Century. Inside the church, all is spacious, bright and clean with beautiful new timbers, clear glass and comfortable seating.

At the west end of the church there is now a well equipped kitchen and serving area with room for various community activities.

Cwmbran Baroque Singers are very fortunate to be numbered among the organisations who have been offered the chance to perform in these wonderful surroundings, with their excellent acoustic.

We shall be singing a selection of our shorter pieces there in aid of the restoration fund. It is easy to imagine how important it is to boost church funds and make sure the recent improvements can be fully completed.

The ancient church of St Cadoc in Caerleon is built on the site of the Roman fortress's Principia, or Headquarters, where the Roman Legionary standards were kept and statues of the Roman emperors venerated.

The building we see today is not Roman, of course, but dates from mediaeval times. St Cadoc, patron saint of the church, was a travelling holy man of the 5th or 6th century AD.
