The concert will start at 6.30pm and include a medley of rousing music performed by the highly acclaimed Nantwich Concert Band.

It will also feature talented soprano Jessica Thayer.

Tickets cost £10.

Tickets are available from staff at the weekly ‘Tea at the Tower’ community café, which takes place at the Church every Sunday afternoon (2:30-4:30pm).

Profits from the concert will go to the Royal British Legion who support the Armed Forces community and run the Poppy Appeal.

A representative from St Mary’s Church, Acton said: “The Proms at Acton last year was met with a fantastic response from the audience.

“We are really pleased to be able to host another concert in support of the Royal British Legion. This is an evening not to be missed!”
