All Saints, Leek will open its doors for four days of music, heritage and community celebration as Saints in the Summer brings concerts and open days to the town.
All Saints, Leek is preparing to welcome visitors for four days of music, heritage and community celebration as Saints in the Summer takes place from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 July 2026.
The festival will bring a varied programme of live music to one of the Staffordshire Moorlands’ most treasured buildings, with performances from ABBA Revival, Denise Leigh, Omnium Ensemble and the Band of the West Midlands Fire Service.
All Saints is the only Grade I listed building in Leek and is known for its art and historic treasures, spacious architecture and the architectural designs of Norman Shaw.
The church first opened its doors to the public on 25 July 1887, two years after its foundation stone was laid on the same date in 1885. Now, thanks to the support of the Scops Arts Trust, it will open again for a summer festival designed to celebrate music, place and community.
Four days of music in the heart of Leek
The festival opens on Thursday 23 July with ABBA Revival, one of the UK’s leading ABBA tribute bands, bringing an energetic evening of familiar songs to All Saints.
On Friday 24 July at 7.30pm, All Saints will host Denise Leigh, the local celebrity known for Britain’s Got Talent. Denise will be joined by Stefan Andrusyschyn and Molly Joynson for an evening of favourite showstoppers from musical theatre and more.
Saturday 25 July will bring the London based Omnium Ensemble to Leek. The group will lead a choral workshop at 2pm before performing a selection of choral music in the acoustics of All Saints at 5pm.
The festival closes on Sunday 26 July at 3pm, when the Band of the West Midlands Fire Service will perform an afternoon of favourite tunes for all the family. The concert will be followed by a community celebration with games, food, conversation and laughter.

Alongside the music programme, All Saints will be open from 10am to 4pm during the festival, giving visitors the chance to explore the church and its artistic treasures.
