Shades of Simon - a tribute to Paul Simon

Back by popular demand! The UK’s no.1 Paul Simon tribute band “Shades of Simon” will be bringing their highly acclaimed 2 hour show “The Paul Simon Story” to the National Trust's Flatford Mill for the 4th year running in July 2026. The show has an engaging narration telling the story of Paul Simon as one of the best songwriters of his generation, with the outstanding 5-piece band performing authentic renditions of the best of his songs from his time in Simon & Garfunkel in the 60’s (Homeward Bound, Sound of Silence, Bridge over troubled water etc.) through to his South African inspired Graceland tour in the 80’s (You can call me Al.) As well as listening to the lovely music, you will also be able to enjoy snacks and drinks from the National Trust catering team in the interval.

Drink, Draw, Write

A relaxed creative evening. Draw and/or write, and socialise, no experience needed. We have been trying something new for a few months. If you like the idea of what we are trying to do, please become part of it and help get it off the ground. Drink, Draw, Write is a relaxed monthly creative social meet up. Bring your sketchbook (or just yourself), have a drink, and spend a couple of hours drawing, writing, and unwinding in good company. This is not a class as such, but an opportunity to mark some time in your diary to be creative. Each session includes: – A theme and prompts to get you going creatively (unless you already have your own project on the way, we will not hold you back) – Inspirational reference material – Pens, paper, and some other art supplies to borrow, but we encourage you to bring your own favorites. (yes, digital is fine too) – An opportunity to share your work (only if you want to) You will also be able to join the associated WhatsApp group, allowing you to communicate with other creatives. Please prebook tickets; it really helps us plan and make sure we can run these events. We understand decisions can sometimes be made at the last minute, and we will do our best to accommodate you at the door. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/drink-draw-write-tickets-1985268896712?aff=oddtdtcreator

More about Bradfield Heath

Essex, England

Bradfield Heath sits quietly in Essex with a charm that doesn't need to shout to get noticed. We like our local spots to feel like proper neighbourhoods where you can actually find out what's on without hunting through a dozen different pages. Even if there aren't any big venues listed right now, the town still has its own rhythm and a few quiet corners worth knowing. Near Here keeps an eye on things so you don't have to wander aimlessly wondering if anything is actually happening this weekend.
