This class is particularly suited to beginners, those returning to yoga having had a break, those with specific injuries or conditions or even those that consider themselves to be of a certain age that might need a less challenging approach. We will cover general breathing practises, the basic and gentler postures, together with general information and possible discussion around movement and the potential difficulties we might come up against.

The aim will be to relax and enjoy.

The yoga I teach is an evolution of nearly 30 years of practice and study, with a broad experience of many styles and teachers. In recent years I have been moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an internal sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential and felt approach, influenced by teachers who have been inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.

Have you ever wondered what your baby is thinking or feeling? Would it help if they could communicate those thoughts and feelings to you?

Sign and rhyme teaches parents / carers and their little ones, simple sign language that enables them to communicate before speech takes over. Just like waving and clapping, your baby can learn to tell you when they’re hungry, in pain or just that they’ve seen a dog! This is empowering to them and hugely rewarding for you! In most cases babies who sign learn to talk sooner than their non-signing peers.

Signs are used in class, like actions, to accompany songs and nursery rhymes and with an array of props, puppets, instruments and the use of disco lights, bubbles and parachutes to enhance the sensory experience and make learning more fun.

There's also:
* Free on-site parking
* Café (open all day)
* Baby changing facilities

Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Carers all welcome with their babies under 18 months

Led by Bombina Glass

Fusing glass is the process of melting pieces of glass together in a kiln to create a solid, single piece of glass. This process can be used to create various objects such as bowls, vases, and sculptures.

Fused glass can be created using different techniques, including adding colour, texture, and design using materials like glass stringers.

The fusing process involves controlling the temperature and time in the kiln to achieve the desired result.

Glass optics fusing with stringers is a technique in which thin threads of fusible glass known as stringers are fused together to create unique patterns in fused glass creations. This technique uses volume control and displacement to physically change the shape of lines, creating an appearance like a graph of harmonic waves.

The class teaches how to distort a linear pattern of stringers into a repeatable and intentional pattern, and how the chemicals in glass can react together to add interest and patterns in the final fused creation. The class aims to expand the knowledge of fusing enthusiasts and beginners a like and allows for the creation of a 15cm x 15cm glass bowl using a variety of colours of glass and stringers.

All materials and equipment are provided, and the workshop lasts for three hours.

During the workshop, we will look at some samples of work that can be produced and discuss patterns, colour combinations, and the effects of glass reactions. After, we will cut the stringers and arrange them on the tile to go into the kiln for an overnight firing.

The pieces will be ready and posted to you after the class.

Fool's Paradise
Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.

The Two Of Us
The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York, and had American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast.

Us (Duet)
Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music.

An American In Paris (Ballet)
The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in which the two central characters dance through Paris.

This class is suited to those who have been practising for at least 6. My intention for this class is to move our practise forward, explore different avenues and approaches to the traditional postures. We will be aiming to be going deeper into awareness and noticing.

The yoga I teach is an evolution of over 20 years of practice and study, perhaps moving away from external evaluation of the postures and moving towards an internal sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential approach. Whilst looking at traditional Hatha Yoga postures and pranayamas, I will be encouraging fun and freedom within the traditional structure, whilst taking into our awareness fundamental anatomical and functional aspects required by our bodies for maximum wellbeing benefits.

Helen will give you suggestions to suit your level of ability / experience and guide you through the process. The skills covered on the course will depend on what you decide to make after an initial discussion. More experienced learners can use the time to work on their own projects.

The intention of this 5 week course is to explore / build on different hand building techniques. At the end of week four, your work will then be bisque fired off-site, ready for glazing in week five. It will then be re-fired and ready to collect from Norden Farm at a later date.

The price includes: clay, use of tools, underglazes, decorating slips, glazes and 2x firing of your work.

Please bring with you:
- Sketchbook for ideas
- Pens / Pencils
- A cloth to wipe your hands on
- An apron
- Any clay tools you may have.
- A plastic bag to store your work

After the course
Helen will notify you and arrange a date regarding the collection of your work which usually takes between 4 - 6 weeks.

Dir: Marc Evans 2024 | 124 mins

Based on a remarkable true story. Discover how the poor son of a miner became one of the greatest actors the world has ever known, with the help of an unlikely mentor.

Port Talbot, 1942. Richard Jenkins lives as a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war, and his own ambitions. However, a new opportunity arises when Richard’s natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (Toby Jones).

Taking Richard under his wing, the young man thrives under Philip’s strict tutelage and the guidance of kindly landlady, Ma Smith (Lesley Manville). However, as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.

Presented by Norden Farm Jazz Club.

Simon Spillett (tenor sax)
Alex Hutton (piano)
Alec Dankworth (bass)
Clark Tracey (drums)

Over his twenty five year career Simon Spillett has worn almost as many hats as it's possible to wear within jazz; multi-award-winning instrumentalist (BBC Jazz Awards, British Jazz Awards, Jazz Journal's Album of The Year), quartet and big band leader, recording artist, author, historian, record producer, archivist, magazine columnist and latterly blogger.

However, for all these varied skills he identifies most strongly as a powerfully swinging, straight ahead tenor saxophonist, one capable of taking the audiences who hear him on a roller coaster ride encompassing everything from energetic bebop to heartfelt balladry.

And it’s in this guise that he’s become a solid fixture on the UK jazz landscape, regularly playing sold out gigs at major festivals (EFG London Jazz Festival, Brecon, Swanage, Scarborough, Wigan etc.) and world famous club venues (Ronnie Scott’s).

A charismatic performer, gifted with a dry observational wit, he’s never lost sight of the fact that jazz is entertainment as much as self-expression and whether playing, writing or articulately holding forth on his favourite subject UK jazz history – he’s an infectiously passionate communicator.

Led by Deborah Le Vene-Page

Align and Flow Yoga is influenced by the biomechanics and heart orientated philosophy of the Anusara Hatha style of yoga. With a specific alignment focus within the flow of postures the practice will tone and strengthen the body, improve posture and create more freedom in the body and mind resulting in a calm and relaxed state of being.

Each week there will be a different theme weaving its’ way through the session, but a typical class starts with breathing techniques to centre and ground, poses to warm up and then progresses to a fun and challenging mix of vinyasa and alignment yoga.

This class is designed to cultivate focus, stamina, strength, and flexibility. Leaving time at the end for a well-deserved relaxation.

Come prepared for an energising class that will also leave you feeling relaxed.

Multi Award-Winning Folk-Americana Duo.

Think The Civil Wars meets Simon and Garfunkel! Their heartfelt songs, stunning vocals, and soul-stirring harmonies have transfixed audiences and propelled their last album What Comes Next to the top of the Amazon folk chart. Their latest Album Braver Days was released last September.

Following the release of their debut single in 2017, Tomorrow Bird was named Best Duo at both the 2017 and 2018 GSMC Awards.  They followed this up with their award-nominated, self-titled debut album, and 2019 LGBTQ+ charity single, Love is Love.

Their NHS charity single Not All Heroes Wear Capes - and the title track from their new album, What Comes Next - also won GSMC Music Awards for Single of the Year, in 2021 and 2022 respectively. 

After debuting at number one on the Amazon Folk Music Charts in June 2022, the pair's latest album has received glowing reviews, regular radio play, and brought home the coveted GSMC Music Award for Album of the Year 2023.

Jen Bird
A former musical theatre actress, Jen performed lead roles in Jesus Christ Superstar and The King and I before being bitten by the song writing bug.  As a solo artist, she has released two albums and multiple singles including Shout at the Dark - a powerful anthem to raise funds for the mental health charity, SANE UK. She also performed three songs for Nintendo's critically acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles 2 game soundtrack.

Simon Driscoll
Simon began his musical journey as a classical pianist before becoming the frontman of folk-rock band, Burnt Tomorrow.  Following the release of the band's first two albums, he returned to his classical roots with two stunning piano albums, Hope Shines Through and (the Amazon classical chart-topping!) Broken Can Still Be Beautiful.

Together the pair are a musical force of nature advocating for truth, hope, courage, connection and empowerment.. Shining a compassionate light on those things that too often hide alone in the dark.
