We really enjoy Christmas! This year, we are lucky to be able to do the programme at St Nicholas Priory in Exeter and we are excited. Starting off with "Lady Katherine's Tudor Christmas", we have four very different Christmas concerts lined up: Joe Levy's "An English History of Christmas", Jim Causley's fun and folky Christmas gig, our musical extravaganza for New Year's Eve, and Alex Wilson's piano recital on Twelfth Night for a calm and quiet evening on the last day of Christmas. And let's not forget our Tudor Christmas Re-enactment and fabulous Christmas show Humbug! Are you joining us?

We had such a good time this All Hallows'! A beautiful concert with Ruth Molins and poetry from Chris Waters, Jim Causley's fabulous and folksy programme of spooky songs with Mark Norman, and we particularly enjoyed designing and delivering our herbology lessons with Devon & Exeter Medical Heritage Trust in the medieval kitchen of St Nicholas Priory. So many happy children and parents, and two very happy witchy teachers 😉
