I attended a Candleight clasical concert there last week and it was awesome. The music was beautiful and the atmosphere was great. St Stephens is a beautiful old church. I have a strong connection to it as I was married there and so were my parents and my sister. My mother and father's funerals wre also held there and at Chrstmas Eve the serive is very special with candles. They were also member of the congregation and took up senior roles there for many many years. My father also built the cross on top of the pulpit. The Candelight classical concert brought back a lot of fond memories.

A lovely little church in the heart of Sydney. We spent some time browsing around and listening to a young man practicing his piano skills. A magnificent performance it was too. Great place.

The event by Candlelight is a breath of fresh air. No burning candles, no smokes there just beautiful music. I had fun just being seated and the whole room of like minded people even those with kids just being quiet and enjoying listening to the music.

Such an awesome event! The performers were very talented and the atmosphere was amazing. Would definitely recommend. There was only seats left at the back but could easily see. Loved that they let us record the last song too. Something to remember it by without being distracted by people filming the entire time 😊

🕯️Candlelight Concert The whole venue was surrounded by candles — absolutely breathtaking! A feast for both the eyes and ears✨ The final song “Mamma Mia” turned into a full-house singalong — such amazing vibes! 🎶 If you’re interested, check out the FEVER app for tickets — there’s a different themed concert almost every month🤩

Such a magical experience, the orchestra played so well I swear I could hear the lyrics as they were playing. A beautiful atmosphere with the candles and live music. I highly recommend for couples looking for a romantic date night and to purchase the printed candlelight photo to take home as a souvenir. I had the best time!
