Come and Sing - Country
Led by Tabitha Beaven
Come and sing at Norden Farm this summer. Experience for yourself how good it feels to open your mouth, smile and sing in harmony with others.
Each two-hour session has a different theme and will include a fun, inhibition eliminating warm up, an element of vocal technique and learning at least one, two- or three-part, song from the chosen genre.
Whether your regular choir is taking a break over the summer, or you’ve always wanted to experience singing in a group, ALL are welcome. A totally inclusive singing session, come with friends, or come by yourself and make new friends!
Choose your favourite theme, or even better, come to all three.

Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners
Led by Jim Maving
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.
If you've never played guitar you need to book on the Absolute Beginners course!
These classes are split by skills level;
Beginners A - Recently completed the Absolute Beginners course but still some way to go. Yet to tackle bar chords and complicated rhythms.
Beginners B - Well on the way and able to do bar chords
Beginners C - Almost Intermediate but not quite yet.

Wilding (PG)
Dir: David Allen 2023 | 75 mins
A wonderfully hopeful story of ecological regeneration. At Knepp Castle in Sussex, Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell abandoned industrial farming practices and allowed nature to ‘rewild’ their 3,500-acre estate.
The first scheme of its kind in Britain, it became one of the most significant rewilding experiments in all of Europe. Knepp is now home to thriving flora and fauna of all kinds.
‘Nature is healing in this soul-enhancing, hopeful ode to the British countryside’ ★★★★ Time Out
We are excited to be joined by Ted Green MBE after the screening on Tues 6 Aug 8pm for a post screening discussion. Ted is the Founder member and President of the Ancient Tree Forum and Honorary Vice President of the International Tree Foundation. Find out more here.
