A Second Chance to Follow in Bach’s Footsteps
Dates: Monday 26th October – Friday 30th October 2026
Director: Ben England BEM
Our September 2026 trip to Leipzig sold out in record time! We know many of you were disappointed to miss out on this extraordinary musical pilgrimage, so we are thrilled to announce that we are working hard to organise a second trip in October 2026.
This is your chance to rehearse and perform Bach’s iconic cantatas and his Magnificat in the very churches where he lived and worked, accompanied by a professional baroque orchestra and world-class soloists.
How the Provisional Booking System Works
To make this second trip viable, we need a minimum of 80 attendees. Rather than a full booking, we are operating a Provisional Booking System to gauge interest and secure the necessary venues and artists.
The Deposit: Secure your place on the provisional list with a deposit of £130 (payable via Stripe).
The Deadline: We are collecting sign-ups until the end of January 2026.
The Decision: If we reach 80 sign-ups by the deadline, the trip is confirmed. If we do not reach the required numbers, we will cancel the second trip and refund your £130 deposit in full.
Your Commitment to Book
Please note: By making a provisional booking, you are confirming your intention to attend the trip. If we reach our target of 80 people and the trip is confirmed:
Your £130 will be automatically converted into your first deposit payment.
You will be expected to complete the full booking process and adhere to the standard payment schedule for the remaining balance.
The standard Terms & Conditions (including cancellation policies) will apply from the moment the trip is confirmed.
About the Trip
This October experience will mirror the September itinerary as closely as possible (with some minor weather adjustments), including:

Visits to the iconic St. Nicholas and St. Thomas Churches.
The same camaraderie, joy, and expert leadership from Ben England BEM.
Total Trip Cost: £1,395 (identical to the September trip).
