What's on in Higham Park

Northamptonshire, England

Share:

Coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee. Quiz nights that get genuinely competitive (yes, even question 7). Markets where you'll find something better than the supermarket. Higham Park doesn't do things by halves — check what's on this week and see for yourself. We're talking book clubs that actually finish the book, bingo nights that get surprisingly rowdy, film screenings in village halls with seats older than your grandad. The sort of events where half the entertainment is seeing who else shows up. No pretence, no airs and graces, just good local stuff happening near you.

Spoon Carving Workshop - One Day

Spoon Carving Workshop - One Day

On this therapeutic one-day beginners’ course at Stanwick Lakes you will learn how to carve a spoon using basic wood carving techniques and tools. You will begin by learning how to cleave wood and use an axe to produce your spoon blank. The rest of the day will be spent using a sloyd knife and a hook knife to carve to shape your individual home-made spoon. The course covers a selection of knife grips, which will keep your carving under control as well as keeping you safe. Time will be spent looking at how the spoon develops in a 3-dimensional form, covering the spoons ‘crook’, bowl and handle to get a well-balanced and functioning spoon. Wooden spoons like you will make have been carved for thousands of years and for most of the population, were used as an eating utensil until relatively recently. ‘Spoon’ was originally an Anglo-Saxon word that meant ‘a chip of wood’. The oldest known wooden spoon in England is a ladle found at Glastonbury Lake Village dating to 250BC. Another notable find of wooden spoons are the personal spoons found on the wreck of the Mary Rose.

Glass Fusion - Holey Moley Bowl Workshop

Glass Fusion - Holey Moley Bowl Workshop

This three-hour workshop focuses on creating a distinctive “holey” glass bowl. Participants will be taught how to cut glass and gain an understanding of glass fusion techniques, while producing a one-of-a-kind bowl. This workshop is aimed at all levels as the small group size allows Sally to provide as much support as you require to achieve your own unique design. After the workshop your creations will be transported to Sally’s studio where they will be fired twice in her kiln. They will be ready within a 14 days of the workshop and can be collected from Stanwick Lakes or posted out to you for the cost of the postage. Suitable for all abilities. Old clothes are recommended. For health and safety reasons please do not wear sandals, flip flops or any other open shoes.

This citizen science project aims to encourage and enable people of all ages to help address the lack of data on mammal populations in Britain by monitoring and recording the mammals visiting their gardens. This event is organised in partnership with the Nene Valley Mammal Youth Group, a new mammal group which provides opportunities for young people to discover mammals, learn about them and take action to protect them. The Magic Mammals is a FREE event, thanks to funding from the Mammal Society (Usual car parking charges apply). National Mammal Week takes place from 20th to 26th April and is an annual celebration of Britain’s wild mammals, and the people working to monitor, protect and restore populations of these vital species.
