Chippenham Art Group meets monthly on Wednesdays in St Paul’s Church Hall, Greenway Lane, Chippenham. It’s led by artist Fran Young and organised by our experienced community services coordinator Pam Ollis.
Projects ranging from painting and drawing to collage, printing, crafts, clay modelling and more. We work at a leisurely pace with plenty of time for conversation and connection. No previous experience of art is necessary and everyone works at their own pace. People can also work on their own projects and develop their own ideas.
Family carers are welcome at the group as full members and encouraged to join in to create their own pieces of art.
If you’d like to come along as a group member, or for more information, please call Pam on 01380 739055, or to register your interest please use the form below.
This group is kindly part-funded by Chippenham Borough Lands Charity. Please note, to help towards our costs and materials we ask everyone to pay £6 ‘on the door’ (or you can use our flexible Pay what you Can scheme).
Please register your interest via the Beyond Dementia website

Sparkly Singers
2026-01-29 20:00 - 21:15, 2026-02-05 20:00 - 21:15, 2026-02-12 20:00 - 21:15, 2026-02-26 20:00 - 21:15 | Lansdowne Hall – Derry Hill
Sparkly Singers is the award-winning Wiltshire-based choir experience, founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, regardless of age, experience or ability.
Rather than splitting into parts and learning harmonies, we prefer instead to sing in unison, infusing songs with our own rather unique mix of humour, movement and the occasional wacky prop.
Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (Monday lunchtimes) and Royal Wootton Bassett (Tuesday evenings), the Sparkly Singers meet every Thursday evening from 8:00pm at the Lansdowne Hall in Derry Hill.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not enquire about one of our FREE taster sessions and come and see what we’re all about.

Join our welcoming, all-inclusive group of men and women for Walking Rugby, a fun, low-impact version of the sport that’s great for all ages and fitness levels.
What is Walking Rugby?
In Walking Rugby there are no scrums, lineouts, rucks or mauls. To make a tackle, simply touch the ball carrier with two hands – the ball carrier must then stop and pass the ball to another player on their team.
No-one keeps score, instead the emphasis is on enjoyable and social rugby for all.
For more information see the RFU’s video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdPp6FS2q4
What do I need?
All you need is sports wear, studded boots (don’t worry if you don’t have any we have some we can lend you some) as we normally play on our artificial pitch, and a bottle of water (believe us you will need it!), and remember …..we are WALKING!
When and Where?
We meet every Friday at Chippenham Rugby Club, 6.30pm until 7.30pm. We join up with other local rugby clubs on a regular basis to share enjoyable evenings of rugby and socialising, and also attend festivals hosted by other clubs which includes at least one each year where we are “on tour”
If you want to join in whether you have played before or are new to rugby and whatever your gender, please drop David Cowan an email on walkers@chippenhamrfc.co.uk and he will coordinate.
Come and give it a ‘Try’!!!
