Essy Sparrow & Lily Lyons

We’re thrilled to announce that ‘In The Nave’ will expand its horizons on Saturday September 5th, launching a brand-new series of concerts. Our journey will take us across the water to the picturesque St Mary’s Church on Brownsea Island. The enchanting location is home to the mischievous red squirrels and the dedicated National Trust who manage the island.

Joining us for this special inaugural show on Saturday September 5th afternoon will be two talented artists close to Warm: the captivating and wonderful, Lily Lyons and Essy Sparrow.

Over the past few weeks, both have been touring across the south of England, captivating audiences with sold-out shows. Their harmonious voices perfectly set the tone for this exciting new residency in collaboration with the National Trust and St Mary’s Church.

Due to the church’s intimate size, tickets are limited and the show will be fully seated. All tickets include a return boat journey from Poole Quay to the island.

As this is an afternoon show, you can purchase snacks and refreshments from the National Trust shop on the island before and after the performance if you wish.

Please note that National Trust membership isn’t required to purchase a ticket for this event.

To ensure the island’s preservation, please respect its sacred spaces and nature and leave it as you found it.

Brownsea Island has a strict weather policy for closing the island. If the ferry service is unable to operate due to adverse weather conditions and island is shut down, all ticket holders will be informed of the show’s postponement 24 hours in advance.
