We have a real treat in store for 11-18’s for October half term!
We have a whole day of chatting with friends, then you can choose to make a halloween costume with expert seamstress Lottie Bywater’s, or choose to DJ with first class Music Producer Mark Lodge.
We will even have Pizza – on the house! Following on from our Creative Committees, we’ve heard you loud and clear. You’ve chosen making costumes and trying out more musical ideas, so we’ve designed this day especially for you.
All made possible by funding from the Million Hours Fund. Thanks to the Government and The National Lottery Community Fund for making this possible. Department for Culture, Media and Sport The National Lottery Community Fund.

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.
Founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, our emphasis is on singing in a way that is, above all else, fun.
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.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not come along to one of our FREE taster sessions and see what we’re all about.

Canada’s folk singer-songwriter and flutist Allison Lupton, fiddle champion Shane Cook and instrumentalist & step dance champion Kyle Waymouth UK Tour
2024-11-17 15:00 - 17:30 | Cause Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
Allison Lupton hails from the heart of rural Ontario, Canada where her love for music took root in church choirs and local sessions. From playing for community dances to soloing with orchestras, Allison has found her voice as a singer-songwriter and flutist after more than a quarter century performing in Canada and abroad. Along the way Allison has received accolades from international press as well as her peers at home winning Folk Music Ontario’s “Songs From The Heart” and multiple Canadian Folk Music Award nominations including “Traditional Singer of the Year”.
Allison is now touring her album “Words of Love” joined by Canadian and US Grand National fiddle champion Shane Cook and CFMA Solo Instrumental Artist of the Year and Canadian Grand Master Step Dance champion Kyle Waymouth. Live shows confirm the depth of talent in a glorious mix of beautiful story songs, electrifying fiddle tunes and dazzling step dance united by the trio’s warm and frequently humourous stage presence. Woven through performances are Allison’s original songs which often remind us of the historical connections between Canada and the UK and fit so perfectly into the treasury of folk music that they could easily be mistaken for traditional numbers.
Allison and her trio carry audiences away to another time then dance them home again and are looking forward to touring the UK in 2024. (photo credit Jen Squires)
