Valentine’s Day Fundraising Concert

Saturday 14th February, 2026. Doors: 5pm; Tickets: £14.

This Valentine’s Day, St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Clare will be filled with the gentle glow of candlelight and the sound of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written, as we host An Evening of Love Songs by Candlelight – a fundraising concert celebrating love, music, and togetherness.

The programme brings together a carefully chosen mix of classic and contemporary songs, spanning generations and musical styles. From timeless favourites by Carole King, Billy Joel, Nina Simone, and Etta James, to more recent classics by Crowded House, Jeff Buckley, Norah Jones, and The Cinematic Orchestra, the evening promises warmth, intimacy, and moments of real emotional connection.

Performed by a group of local professional musicians, the concert has been thoughtfully shaped to suit the reflective atmosphere of candlelight in our beautiful church. With two relaxed sets and an interval, audiences can expect a flowing musical journey – gentle, soulful, joyful, and uplifting – perfect for a Valentine’s evening.

At its heart, this event is about love, friendship, and community. St Peter and St Paul’s Church has long been a place where people gather to mark life’s important moments, and this concert continues that tradition by bringing people together through music. All profits from this event will be donated to the Clare Liaison and Support Project, enabling our volunteers to continue supporting vulnerable and isolated residents in and around Clare.

Doors will open at 5pm for a 6pm performance. Tickets are £14 and can be purchased locally from Harris & Harris Books and Clare Library, or online: ticketsource.co.uk/clasp.
