This is a workshop style day for singers of all abilities and ages.

Christmas at Watchtree
Watchtree Nature Reserve

A jam-packed day of music and singing from various local orchestras and choir groups. A nativity nature trail will take you around the reserve where you can meet some animals, join in with crafts and other hands-on experiences. You never know, a jolly, red-dressed fellow might be making an appearance. Cycle hire will be open from 9 am to 3:45 pm and the cafe will be cooking up lots of homemade tasty food for the day.
Childrens Meditation Class
Uma Kadampa Meditation Centre
December 7
At a time of year that can hyper stimulate young minds, it’s worth encouraging children to value quiet time in their day where they can experience inner peace and help them find balance and happiness in their busy lives. Learning to be kind to others is emphasized in the classes which also include craft activities, games and drama. For children from 5-11 years old accompanied by an adult.
Under the Frozen Moon
Old Fire Station
9 December
It’s so cold in Nunavut that the moon has frozen. A greedy dragon has gobbled every fire and light leaving only the white glow of the frozen moon. In this heartwarming tale, a fierce, courageous young girl sets out to confront the dragon who has hoarded all the fire and lights for himself. With lively poetry, transforming sets, exciting puppetry and atmospheric live music this will delight youngsters. Tickets are £5.00.
