Running for over 80 years, Wiltshire Rural Music is a charity dedicated to supporting the community through music, for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
They put on monthly Tune@Noon concerts for local musicians in Wiltshire, run regular groups – from orchestra to ukelele – as well as events dedicated to serving rural areas, through events such as Music On Your Doorstep.
Getting music into parts of the county that are often overlooked, they also run a bursary scheme designed to help young musicians with music tuition and financial expenses.
