The Spooky Men's Chorale In Concert

The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a magnificent, many-headed beast that has revolutionised the world of men’s singing. Bypassing well trodden avenues, they carve out new territories of mighty sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity to both celebrate masculinity and mock it. This event will be hugely popular, don’t delay!

Summer programme Museum of the Jewellery Quarter - Provisional

Ask anyone in the city what Birmingham is famous for and jewellery-making will be at the top of the list. With a world-wide reputation for the highest quality precious metals and gemstones, the region has for centuries been the go-to place for those looking for the very best treasures. The Museum of the Jewellery Quarter captures the vital role the industry has played as it shines a spotlight on a perfectly preserved workshop and offers a glimpse of working life in Birmingham’s renowned Jewellery Quarter. When the proprietors of the Smith & Pepper jewellery manufacturing firm retired in 1981 they simply ceased trading and locked the door, unaware they would be leaving a time capsule for future generations. Today, it stands as a remarkable museum, telling the story of the region’s unique heritage.

Improv at Canon Frome Court

What happens at Improv? The primary objective is to have fun. We start with simple warm-up games to get to know each other, and then some exercises to help us create short stories and sketches. If you want to just stand back at any time that’s ok, but most people want to join in and enjoy the unexpected scenarios that unfold Why come to Improv?Improv helps us to ‘be in the moment’ and free our minds, it helps us to reconnect with the imagination we had as a child, and with our imagination we connect with our creative self. Improv helps us to build self-confidence, develop communication skills, work as a team, think outside the box … and yes, you get all that while having a good time …! Who is Improv for? Improv is for anyone who wants to ‘give it a go’. You don’t need any drama, acting or improv experience. Whatever you do, you are making it up, and you can’t get anything wrong. You can create anything you want, and be whoever you want – that’s the fun of it. concessions available | part of a series of dates | Wheelchair access available – please get in touch https://ticketlab.co.uk/events/fromesoc#/

Katherine of Aragon: Beyond the Stereotypes

Katherine of Aragon: Beyond the Stereotypes

What was life really like for Henry VIII’s six wives? Caroline Willcocks, who has researched and written four successful novels on the Tudor Queens talks about their lives and loves. Was Katherine of Aragon a liar? Was Anne Boleyn a schemer? Did Anne of Cleves smell? Over four talks she discusses these women and the legacy they have left. PLEASE NOTE: this talk will be held at the Local History Centre. Talk one Unveiling the True Character of Henry the Eighth’s First Tudor Queen Explore the extraordinary life of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Too often dismissed as dowdy and overly pious, Katherine’s true legacy is far richer and more nuanced. Was she merely a devout and plain figure, or did her intelligence, political acumen, and beauty shape the course of English history? Discover how Katherine navigated the treacherous world of Tudor politics, championed scholarship for women, and inspired devotion and respect across Europe. This session will challenge prevailing myths and invite you to see Katherine not as a passive victim, but as a clever, resilient, and charismatic queen whose influence is celebrated to this day. Accompanying novel ‘Of Aragon’ by Caroline Willcocks. Caroline has lived in Bromyard for the last six years, with her husband the poet John Pare, a dog and a cat. She has worked in the theatre, freelance journalism and for charities before writing six novels (so far).
