Money for Old Prose is a gathering of local actors, musicians, poets and performers, showcasing their creative talents for charity. It started in 2007 to raise money for The Old Church. Now in its twelfth year, it is a beloved fixture and continues to bring together wordsmiths and well-wishers with singers and supporters, promising poetry, prose, carols and song, laughter, love and tears.
