Music and Worship
There are normally a number of concerts and recitals at St Alban the Martyr throughout the year.
Some are given by members of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and admission is free (with an optional retiring collection for the church).
We usually serve tea and coffee after these events in our adjacent church hall, St Patrick's Room.
However, all remaining concerts are cancelled due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
