"A 5 de Dezembro de 1897, faz hoje 114 anos, era inaugurado em Tomar o coreto da Várzea Pequena.
As bandas filarmónicas de Tomar bem como a Banda do Regimento de Infantaria nº 15 actuaram ali inúmeras vezes, sendo um ponto de encontro da sociedade tomarense sobretudo nas tarde de domingo.
Em 1997 o coreto foi mandado restaurar pela Câmara de Tomar na oficina Tonera, situada na Zona Industrial de Tomar.
Cada vez com menos utilização, o coreto da Várzea Pequena mantém-se como símbolo de uma época e de uma vivência."
