For listening to concerts on St Cathertine’s Church, you are invited to use the quiet Carmelite friars’ garden near the Church. A small screen will be placed there for observing artists playing on the tower, except for the opening, special and closing concerts, when the screen will be placed on the Jan Hevelius Square.

During concerts on the tower of the Main Town Hall, we encourage you to take a walk around the Main Town and find you own favourite spot for listening.

We recommend the following streets: Ławnicza, Chlebnicka and Piwna.
