The Country Chicks’ show is set on Chickville Farm and will take you on a journey through life, love and heartache.
The show is a celebration of Country hits throughout the last eight decades performed in their own unique style with four-part harmonies, earthy acoustic guitar, heartfelt fiddle, sparkly piano, bright mandolin and of course the rhythm section (drums and bass) who drive the tempo and keep the chicks in check! As well as performing a bunch of Country hits the chicks also have a few of their own songs to enhance this original experience. The show will have you up clapping, singing along, stomping and dancing! A perfect night out – so grab your cowboy/girl hat and join us at the farm!
The show includes BIG hits such as… Wagon Wheel, Man, I Feel Like a Woman, Ho Hey, Before He Cheats, Country Roads, Cowboy, Take Me Away, Need You Now, My Church, Tennessee Whiskey and Jolene to name a few!

An homage to the songs of Joni Mitchell.
We are delighted to see the return of this homage to the songs of Joni Mitchell by an ensemble of world class singers and musicians with CV's to match! Following a sell-out run of two shows in the main room at Ronnie Scotts, a show at Norden Farm and other prestigious venues internationally.
Great songs are made for re-interpretation by great artists and each of these artists and musicians bring something of themselves in this show for a reimagining of favourites from Joni Mitchell‘s peerless song catalogue, featuring such songs as 'Woodstock', 'Big Yellow Taxi', 'A Case Of You', 'The River' and many more.
Ring-mastered by bandleader, arranger and bassist Stefan Redtenbacher, the project features a world class band of international musicians who have played with the likes of Bowie, Elton and Herbie Hancock, REDTENBACHER’S FUNKESTRA, a multi-million streaming band in their own right.
Both the shows and the CD feature elite vocalists who are both artists in their own right and who also share deep love for Joni’s music; vocalists such a Mim Grey (McCartney, Tom Jones, Dave Stewart), multi-million streaming, Radio 2 play-listed Jo Harman (who has duetted with Michael McDonald and Lamont Dozier) and highly regarded 'emerging artist' award nominee, Jana Varga.
Even the official Joni Mitchell website is on record as reporting ‘This collection of interpretations is REALLY good folks, and well worth a listen.’

Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet! put on fabulous, feelgood 70s and 80s disco nights for grown-ups at venues across London and the South East - and we’re delighted to welcome them back again after a funk-tastic sell out night here last year.
HSDY nights are recommended by everyone from Time Out and The Guardian to Stylist and Radio 4 and they have been described as 'Abba collides with Saturday Night Fever in a glorious mash up'.
DJ Lady G will be on the decks playing all your favourite soul, funk and disco tunes. Dancer Lady Boo will be showing you the moves to everything from Car Wash (complete with shiny rags) and Hey Mickey, to the 1979 Gonzales hit, Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet, after which HSDY take their name.
If you fancy dressing up (it’s not obligatory, but lots do) there are prizes for the best retro outfits, and free sweets and ice pops too.
In the words of Shalamar, it’s going to be 'a night to remember!'
10% profits from HSDY nights go to Cancer Research UK
Party the night away until 12am - with our Cafe Bar also open serving drinks until then!

Maidenhead Operatic Society presents the hilarious and spooky The Addams Family musical!
Based on the comic strip by Charles Addams which was made into a cult TV series, it’s all about a creepy, kooky and mysterious family who are obsessed with the macabre.
When daughter Wednesday falls in love with a normal boy, Lucas, she invites him and his parents to the house for dinner – and the Addams family have to try to act ‘normal’ for one night.
With memorable songs and riotous comedy, this show will be an absolute scream!
Join the Maidenhead Operatic Society for this amateur production.

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.
If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.
