Looks like the heatwave is going to break on Monday the start of the week is bringing rain ☔️

Which means… the perfect excuse to be cosy inside with a coffee and some lovely company ❤️

Encore is all about friendship, laughter, and getting out of the house for a couple of hours — absolutely no pressure, no obligation to join long term, and our Bring a Friend week is free to try.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, this Monday morning might be the perfect one to try

Looking for something fun for August? A way to meet some new people and do something creative together? 😁

Come and join our 🎉choir mini-series🎉 3 stand alone workshops learning different songs each time and you can join 1, 2 or 3 workshops, no obligation to come to them all.

Each workshop includes:
🎶 a physical and vocal warm up
🎶 learning a round or straightforward song all together then starting to create simple harmonies or add body percussion (clapping, stamping, clicking etc)
🎶 learning a couple of songs in harmony, supported by our lovely pianist Benedict Lewis-Smith on piano
🎶 a tea break! To refresh, reset and refuel for the second half, plus time to chat and get to know people

These workshops are open to any adults who want to sing and our choir leader Eleanor Rastall is experienced at creating a warm and supportive atmosphere and making sure everyone feels comfortable and content ❤️

🎥 in our recent summer concert we taught the audience part of a round, then the choir added some extra bits on top to provide 3 part harmony! If this sounds fun then you are someone we want to sing with!
