What's on in Lavenham

Suffolk, England

Share:

Lavenham sits snugly in Suffolk with that famous timber-framed look, and the Village Hall has been hosting local gatherings for years without missing a beat. It's the kind of place where neighbours pop by to chat while waiting for the next show to start. From family crafts to community nights, the town keeps things moving along the river. You won't find yourself scrolling through endless feeds just to see what's on this Saturday.

Welcome! St Mary's is one of 5 Anglican churches in the beautiful Glem Valley in south-west Suffolk. The church building is usually open every day - and we try to offer a wide range of Sunday service styles - from a "celebration" all age service, to Common worship Holy Communion, to the Book of Common Prayer Communion Service. The times and dates of the services can be found on the news and notices page. Do be in touch with us if you would like to find out more about Christenings, weddings and funerals - or if you would like to have a chat about exploring the Christian faith.

Flowers: Watercolour for Beginners

Around delightful day immersed in the vibrant world of watercolour with Sunil Kalbandi . All materials are provided, so you can simply relax, create, and take home at least three of your very own paintings – paintings you'll be proud to display! No prior experience needed – just a love for colour and a desire to explore! Join our immersive six-hour watercolour workshop designed to help you master painting 3-4 distinct flowers. We'll begin with a quick theory session focused on colour mixing and essential floral techniques like wet-on-wet washes for soft petals and lifting for highlights. The key to beautiful flowers is observation, so you will learn how to simplify drawing them before we move to paint. Through 2-3 step-by-step floral demonstrations, you will learn all the core techniques to master any flower after the class is complete. The majority of the time is for hands-on painting, where you'll create three beautiful floral pieces with personalised guidance. This beginner-friendly course requires no prior drawing experience and adapts to all skill levels. Expect ad hoc reviews and helpful pointers, aiming for you to learn essential techniques and take home paintings you'll be proud of. Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for painting. This is a six-hour workshop, including short breaks. Lunch is not provided, however there is a cafe on the premises. Plenty of parking is available at the venue. The venue is wheelchair accessible. If children are attending, they must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Times: 10am-4pm Tickets: £99 Venue: The Apex, Bury St Edmunds This event is promoted by Sunil Kalbandi Ltd
