A church will be filled with the sound of music as a series of free lunchtime concerts return.

Maldon United Reformed Church (URC) holds the popular concerts on the second Thursday of every month with coffee and tea available from 12.15pm.

There is no admission fee, but donations are welcome.

The concerts are an initiative by Churches Together In Maldon and they started in 2002.

No tickets are necessary, just pop along to the URC in Market Hill for music starting at 1pm.

Visitors are also invited to bring along their lunch.
