What's on in Chessmount

Buckinghamshire, England

Share:

Chessmount sits quietly in Buckinghamshire, a place where the air smells of damp earth and old books rather than exhaust fumes. You won't find a single venue listed here yet, but that just means you're free to wander down any lane and stumble upon whatever local group is rehearsing in someone's garden shed. It is a town built on strategy, so imagine a chess tournament taking place in the village hall or a band playing on the green. We keep an eye on these sorts of things so you don't have to ask round the neighbourhood for what's on. Just wait until the first proper event lands on our list, and we'll tell you exactly where to go.

An evening with Justine Picardie

An evening with Justine Picardie

Join bestselling author Justine Picardie, as she chats about her new book FASHIONING THE CROWN. Published ahead of the centenary of the Queen’s birth, this beautifully illustrated book, featuring over 100 sumptuous images, uncovers the hidden history of the Crown and how it survived a tumultuous era and two world wars. From the birth of the house of Windsor in 1917, its leading women – Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II – faced the perils of abdication and assassination, revolution and the rise of fascism, the threat of invasion and all-out war. Their sartorial decisions, alongside those of their royal husbands, projected power and perpetuity, diplomacy and defiance. In this cinematic story of espionage and exquisite couture, Justine Picardie reveals the undercover lives of the creators behind the façade – including Hardy Amies, Cecil Beaton, Norman Hartnell and Edward Molyneux – and traces the ways in which visual iconography safeguarded the monarchy, even when their reign seemed to be hanging by a thread. Drawing on original research in the Royal Archives and her own experiences at Balmoral, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, Picardie explores the family feuds and international conflicts that challenged the Crown, and how royal fashion has long been wielded as a weapon.

Oasis - Tuesday

Oasis - Tuesday

Sign up here for Tuesday Oasis! We have a variety of children's toys and equipment for your children to play with and we usually have a craft and a story as well. For the parents we provide tea, coffee & biscuits and a snack for the kids. (Please bring their own drink). We ask for a donation of £1.50 for the first toddler you are booking into the group and 50p for any additional children. This is to cover our costs in running this group. Our toddler group is popular (like may others) so you will only be able to attend one day per week. If the group is already full please sign up to be on the waiting list HERE. If you have any questions please do contact us below. If you are not the parent/guardian of the child please also provide these details in the boxes provided. ****IMPORTANT NOTICE******** You may be aware of the high demand for Oasis and that there are people waiting patiently for a space. Therefore, as a general rule we say that if you miss two weeks running without any reason then we will offer the space onto the next person on the waiting list. (We will only do this after trying to contact you as there may be a good reason for the absence.) ************************************
