Music in Country Churches was set up as a charitable trust in 1989. It arranges weekends of music during the summer months in rural churches of exceptional beauty and interest, raising funds to assist those churches with the costs of their repair and maintenance.
 
In its first 29 seasons it has arranged 82 weekends and, with the support of business organisations, charitable trusts, the Friends of Music in Country Churches and other individuals, was able to make donations to those churches totalling £572,000.
 
Funds raised from the concerts in July will help update the electrics at Salle and replace the roof at Thurning.
