    What events does this guide cover?

    I maintain this guide for Classical Moments, a programme broadcast by Radio Redhill to the patients and staff of East Surrey Hospital on 1431kHz AM. The guide, just like the programme, features classical events in the East Surrey area, together with those from a little further afield which are particularly noteworthy.

    I am happy to include events which are broadly classical and which are promoted by not-for-profit organisations.

    Additions, updates and corrections

    I try to update the guide every couple of weeks. If you would like your event included, you are welcome to email the programme.

    You can also use this email address to let me know about corrections, or with comments.

    Other ways to access the guide

    Out and about? Got a mobile phone which supports WAP? You can get the Classical Moments Events Guide wherever you are. Simply point your phone's browser to classmo.org.uk
