What's on in Barrow Wake

Gloucestershire, England

The proper local stuff the big sites overlook — from open mic nights to dog shows, toddler groups to talks about local history that turn out to be more interesting than you'd think. Barrow Wake keeps its calendar surprisingly full, and we've tracked down the lot. Coffee mornings that turn into proper catch-ups. Quiz nights where the same team wins every week and everyone pretends not to mind. Craft fairs, food markets, community screenings, and workshops teaching you things you didn't know you wanted to learn. All the things that make living somewhere feel like actually living somewhere, not just sleeping there.

Michaela Strachan: Not Just a Wild Life

You’ve seen her cuddling orangutans, being “Wide Awake” on Saturday mornings and almost skating to glory on Dancing on Ice. Now, wildlife TV legend Michaela Strachan swaps the binoculars for the spotlight in her brand-new live theatre show “Not Just A Wild Life”. Marking 40 years in the public eye – on our screens, in the wild and sometimes out of her depth. From The Wide Awake Club, The Hitman And Her and The Really Wild Show to Countryfile, Springwatch and beyond, the show laughs at the chaos of TV, celebrates the beauty of nature and reflects on what it means to grow up – and grow older – on screen. It’s a high energy, funny and heart-warming journey through four decades of conservation and re-invention. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be upstaged by an elephant, wrangle the likes of Chris Packham, or ice skate on National TV looking like Julie Andrews, then this show is for you! Not Just A Wild Life promises an evening of inspiration, nostalgia and genuine connection – for nature nerds, nostalgia lovers, and anyone who’s ever wondered how a rubber chicken can change the course of your life.Please note, a £2 ticket commission fee is included in the price of the ticket.If you require a carer ticket, or have any accessibility requirements please book your tickets over the phone by calling . The lines are open 9.00am – 5.00pm, Monday – Friday.

Freedom in Christ

Freedom in Christ is the equivalent of an annual spiritual MOT and it is a 9 week course designed to help every Christian take hold of the truth of our identity in Christ, resolve any personal and spiritual issues that may be holding us back, and become a fruitful, effective disciple of Jesus. At the end of the course we have the Steps to Freedom day on Saturday 13th June which is an amazing day where we draw it all together! Please keep this date free if you can. Some of the areas covered in the course include: — How we became brand new people from the inside out when we became Christians — Why we can go boldly into God's presence any time we like without fear — How nothing we can do can make God love us any more or any less — How to resolve effects of even the deepest issues from the past — How to deal with repeating patterns of sin — Understand what God's purpose for your life is (it may not be what you think!) Join us at 7pm for food or 7:30pm for worship and coffee before the teaching and group discussion. There is a £15 cost to the course to cover the course materials and refreshments, and if you would like food each week, it is £4 per meal. We never want cost to be a barrier to someone joining the course though, so please get in contact if it is something you need help with. Please note: if you are unable to make week one, you are more than welcome to come join from week two.
