Biddulph Male Voice Choir will be performing a charity concert to raise funds for part of the restoration of Biddulph Old Hall.

We reported previously how plans are underway to install a staircase in the tower at Biddulph Old Hall in memory of the man who helped to bring the historic local landmark back to life - Nigel Daly.

It's hoped that the tower at Biddulph Old Hall can be complimented by an oak staircase in memory of Nigel Daly, who helped to renovate the 16th century building with his partner Brian Vowles.

Sadly, Nigel recently passed away last year aged 72, and during his lifetime he had always hoped to install an oak staircase in the tower.

Now Brian and those helping with the continued work on the hall are determined to finally get the staircase installed as a memorial to Nigel.

The concert will be held on Saturday 9th July 2022, at St Mary's Church Astbury.

Nigel's partner Brian said that the Tower was a project Nigel was passionate about, and that it was a constant frustration to him that other demands prevented them from achieving the full funds to install the oak staircase in the Tower.

He said: "The staircase will be a lasting memorial to Nigel and the inspirational work he oversaw on the restoration of the Hall. In due course we intend to hand over Biddulph Old Hall to a charitable foundation so that it may be enjoyed by the general public in perpetuity."

The concert starts at 7.00 p.m. and tickets at £10 each are available from the information centre at Congleton Town Hall, Biddulph Town Hall, and via email at [email protected]

There are also tickets available for a joint concert/pie and pea supper. The supper will be held after the concert in the village hall opposite the church. The joint tickets are available by email to [email protected]

It is expected that the event will be well attended and as numbers are limited people are advised to book as soon as possible.
