Come and have a summer sing and experience for yourself how good it feels to open your mouth, smile and sing in harmony with others.

Each themed session will include a fun, inhibition eliminating warm-up and learning one song (possibly two) from the chosen genre.

Think of this as a pop-up choir session. Whether your regular choir is taking a break over the summer, or you’ve always wanted to experience singing in a group, it’s a totally inclusive singing session. There will be parts to learn but you don’t have to be able to read music, all levels of experience with singing welcome. Come with friends, or come by yourself and make new friends!

Embrace the green! Hot off the heels of the Wicked movie release, we’ll choose a song, maybe two, to learn and sing together. Whether you fancy yourself as a Glinda or Elphaba we’ll all embrace our inner show star and sprinkle some magic!

Tabitha loves to sing and is passionate about the power of singing for all. Tabitha founded and led the Tuneless Choir in Maidenhead for eight years and has delivered Summer Sings as part of the Norden Farm programme for the last three years.

A multi-instrumentalist Tabitha has been a member of local Funk and Soul band, Funkin’ Souled Out, she delivers corporate business skills workshops through the medium of singing or the ukulele and enjoys writing and arranging vocal arrangements. Her style has been described as warm and vibrant with intoxicating enthusiasm.

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 in January.

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 Café Bar also open serving drinks until then!

Led by Julie Potter

This class is particularly suited to beginners, those returning to yoga having had a break, those with specific injuries or conditions or even those that consider themselves to be of a certain age that might need a less challenging approach. We will cover general breathing practises, the basic and gentler postures, together with general information and possible discussion around movement and the potential difficulties we might come up against.

The aim will be to relax and enjoy.

The yoga I teach is an evolution of nearly 30 years of practice and study, with a broad experience of many styles and teachers. In recent years I have been moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an internal sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential and felt approach, influenced by teachers who have been inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.

Please bring a blanket, a Yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing

In each session children take part in a series of drama games and activities that develop their confidence as well as teaching them drama skills. These include focus, communication, developing a character and voice projection.

As the weeks go on the group will each have a part with some lines to learn in a small-scale show. They will rehearse as a team and share what they have learnt during the last session, more details to follow on this after half term.

Suitable for school years 2 - 6.
