Normal rehearsal times and locations
Havant Symphony Orchestra rehearsals are normally held every Friday during school term time (except on the day before a Havant Chamber Orchestra concert) from 7.00pm to 9.30pm at St. Faith’s Church Hall, The Pallant, Havant, PO9 1BE (see map). There is a car park next to the hall, off East Pallant, which is a one-way street towards the hall, so you need to approach it via Beechworth Road.
The HSO rehearsal includes a coffee break at around 8.30pm. Coffee or tea and biscuits are provided (for a contribution of 20p).
Havant Chamber Orchestra rehearsals are normally held at the same location, St. Faith’s Church Hall, on the two Tuesdays immediately preceding the concert date, from 7.30pm to 10.00pm. There is a break, but no refreshments are provided.
