2025 Autumn term dates for this ever popular series to be announced.
Following our hugely successful Summer 2025 strolls, let us know if you have a favourite walk that could benefit from musical interludes ….
We are now scouting for new walking discoveries for next year, to add to your favourites with Dorset-born Folk Singer Alastair Simpson ….. stunning views accompanied by traditional folk songs from the county and further afield.
Many folk songs belong in the outdoors, especially when they tell stories of the people who live and work there. Alastair is becoming known for his unaccompanied singing of traditional and modern folk songs, and is a lover of the Dorset countryside and the Nature which inhabits it. These walks take in some beautiful scenery, bringing an opportunity to learn something of countryside ways, as well as meeting with the past to hear these old songs.
We are also thrilled to look forward to future walks with Tim Laycock and Colin Thompson, with a definite return to beautiful Abbotsbury Flower Farm for their 2026 Flower Festival, very special.
Returning for Summer 2026 ….
As part of our Music and Local Heritage series, Tim Laycock and Colin Thompson perform Dorset folk songs, poetry and stories from Dorset for a cosy Autumnal gathering.
Not to be missed, these evenings bring a very special celebration of our Dorset Folk heritage.
This is the perfect opportunity to play a new piece, however long or short, whether you are a Beginner or a Professional, these are always happy times to make new friends and reconnect with each other.
Tell your teacher if you would like to play, or simply come along on the day for these fun sessions to hear your friends.
Tea, juice and cookies 🙂
Welcome back for a cosy Autumn term after our amazing Summer !
Look out for new pop -up performances and opportunities and enjoy settling into learning new pieces 🙂
