Melodic Moments July 2026

Melodic Moments is a relaxed series of afternoon concerts presented by Sinfonia Viva, designed to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to everyone. These daytime performances are especially suited to people who may find evening concerts difficult to attend. Audiences are encouraged to come as they are, whether attending alone or with family members, children, parents, or friends. The series is particularly supportive of people living with dementia and those who care for them, offering a calm, friendly environment where shared musical experiences can flourish. Each concert features beautifully performed live music in an intimate, informal setting, giving space to pause, connect, and enjoy the joy of music together. Presented by Caroline Welsh, every event introduces a different ensemble and theme, ensuring there is always something fresh to discover. More than a concert, Melodic Moments is a warm gathering that celebrates togetherness, gentle connection, and meaningful moments. After the performance, everyone is invited to stay for tea and cake - a much‑loved tradition that encourages conversation and reflection - or to explore the Mansfield Museum with new and familiar faces. Tea and scones will be provided free of charge.

Women's Study - Gospel-Shaped Womanhood

Our new Women's study will be going through the book 'Gospel-Shaped Womanhood' by Sarah Rice. A refreshing & practical reminder for women to root their identity in Christ We all desperately want answers to the same questions: Am I valuable? What is my purpose? Do I belong? But the identity we're searching for always seems just out of reach. Contrary to what the world tells us, we don't need to find ourselves. Instead, we need to be found in Christ. More than just a sound-bite, Gospel-shaped Womanhood delves into what having a Jesus-centred identity really means and how it shapes our relationships, our service, our work, and our self-image. Deep, practical, and honest, this book will help build a lasting transformation in the way we see ourselves and all of life. Every other Wednesday night we will be listening to 'Gospel-Shaped Womanhood' audiobook together, then breaking into small groups for discussions. There will be 10 sessions, each session covering one chapter. Part 1: Gospel-Shaped Identity 1 The Only Good News What the gospel is and what it isn't 2 Every Spiritual Blessing Benefits of gospel identity 3 True Female Empowerment The indwelling Holy Spirit 4 Part of the Family Belonging to Christ and each other 5 Walking Worthy How identity in Christ drives activity for Christ Part 2: Gospel-Shaped Activity 6 Women Who Work Nurturing life for the glory of God 7 Authentic Friendship Bearing with one another in love 8 Temples Not Idols Glorifying God in our physical...

Rembrant - Exhibition On Screen

Explore the genius of Rembrandt at the Mansfield Palace Theatre Lounge. This event invites artists, creatives, and culture enthusiasts to connect, relax, and experience the power of Rembrandt. This Week’s Film: Rembrandt Every Rembrandt exhibition is eagerly anticipated, but this major show from London’s National Gallery and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum is an event like no other. With privileged access to both galleries, the film documents this landmark exhibition while weaving in the story of Rembrandt’s life and the meticulous preparations behind the scenes. The exhibition focuses on the final years of Rembrandt’s career – widely regarded as his most extraordinary period. The works created during these years are often considered his defining masterpieces: deeply soulful, profoundly honest, and essential to our understanding of him as both a man and an artist. Through interviews with curators, art historians, and other experts, the film examines each of these pivotal works, shedding new light on the painter many regard as the greatest artist who ever lived. Why Attend? Gain unparalleled access to the National Gallery and Rijksmuseum’s landmark Rembrandt exhibition. Discover the depth and humanity of Rembrandt’s late works. Hear from world-leading curators and historians as they reveal the truth behind the legend. Enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits while connecting with fellow art enthusiasts in an intimate setting.
