A view of the organ console is usually projected onto a large screen at
the front of the church, giving excellent views of the performer.
Admission to the recitals is free. A retiring collection is taken to
defray printing costs and to assist in funding the care and maintenance
of the instrument.

Trinity Parish Church is situated in Stourbridge's historic
Glass Quarter.
It lies the A491 which runs between
