Growing Harmony, Wiston Lodge

29th August 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 2nd September 2024 @ 3:00 pm

£90.00 – £100.00

Big DRUMROLL please………….because I’m delighted to announce that Lea Morris from Braunschweig, Germany AND Helen Lyle from Sheffield will be joining Jennie Fisk and me for this totally joyous and eagerly awaited annual event. Lea’s song’s have taken the UK community singing world by storm since her first workshop tour in 2023 after taking part in the Natural Voice Network’s Black Lives Matter Commissioning project with her stunning song Lifting As We Climb. This is you chance to really immerse yourself in her beautiful, soulful work. You can read more about her here.

Helen Lyle co-leads Sheffield’s big community choir Purple Cats and brings a light touch and a wealth of teaching and performing experience to the team. It promises to be a great event.

The venue is Wiston Lodge – originally a Victorian Hunting Lodge – nestled in the hills near Biggar in the south of Scotland. It’s a great venue, with a wooden hut added onto the main house, which is ideal for singing. However, there are no single ensuite rooms so if that kind of privacy is important to you we suggest you get a nearby BnB or camp. Tents, caravans and camper vans are all welcome and there are new showers for campers in the on-site Education Suite.

Rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

To book: Select either a deposit (residential and singers staying off-site but attending the whole event) or day ticket at the bottom of the page and click ‘get tickets’. Then, fill out the required booking information including room choice, and make your payment. If you are staying at Wiston Lodge, your room will be confirmed when we send out invoices for the final balance, normally around 3 months before the event. We will contact you if we can’t offer either your first or second choice.
