Marshchapel  Arts is a body based at St Mary's church which aims to build on the various artistic events held over recent years and create a dedicated centre for arts serving the entire East Lindsey Marsh area

The outstanding success of the June concert by the London Mozart Players in June 2006, followed by equally inspiring exhibitions (Queen Anne's Lace, Daisy Day and Lincolnshire Heritage weekends) confirmed the suitability of this magnificent Grade 1 listed building for cultural events

2007 saw two highly appreciated concerts, in June by the Kingsway Printers Brass band and then by the New Riverside Jazzmen in September- the latter of which enjoyed the benefit not only of our usual drinks marquee hospitality but the additional New Orleans-style treat of freshly barbecued Po-Boys

The year 2008 saw five major events.  In June the Louth Male Voice Choir visited.  July was the month chosen for our first Exhibition of Fine Arts, with 50 artists and nearly 500 visitors.  In September the internationally acclaimed cellist Paul Watkins gave a recital to a packed church; he was accompanied by his brother Huw, and the concert included a world premiere performance.  Colin Walsh, the brilliant Organist Laureate at Lincoln Cathedral, gave in October the inaugural recital on St Mary's recently installed Forster & Andrews organ.  And in November local master chef Mike Grubb demonstrated food and drinks preparation for A Victorian Christmas.
