Classic Album Sundays is a communal and audiophile listening experience. We hold classic album listening sessions on our audiophile hi-fi at The Hanbury Arms the first Sunday of the month. In each session we feature music related to the featured album in the lead-up and then we give a presentation about the album. At 7pm we switch off our phones, the lights go down, the volume goes up and we play the entire album on vinyl. Join us for some heavy duty listening.
