Sparkly Singers
2025-10-09 20:00 - 21:15 (Europe/London) | 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.

Each week, the intensity and walking duration gently increase, helping participants boost their stamina and strength without feeling overwhelmed.

Pewsham Locks Open Day
2025-10-11 10:00 - 15:00 | Pewsham Locks
Popular open days on a restored stretch of canal between near Chippenham are due to return this weekend.
Hundreds of people attended last year’s events at Pewsham Locks, a flight of locks which once lifted narrowboats on their journey north along the Wilts & Berks Canal.
Visitors can enjoy a pop-up café, boat trips, and tours of the building projects and wildflower meadow.
The first event takes place on Saturday 10th May and will be repeated on the second Saturday of each month until October. The café and tours open from 10am, with boat trips available from 12.30pm, before the event closes at around 3pm.
The open days are organised by the Melksham, Chippenham & Calne branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust.
Spokesperson Bright Wright said:
We’re looking forward to welcoming lots of visitors and sharing the progress we’ve made in bringing this historic waterway back to life. People often enjoy walking or cycling along the towpath but this is a golden opportunity to learn so much more about the charity, our local work and our plans for the future.
We’ll be offering guided tours of the dry dock and carpenter’s workshop, which are due to be completed later this year, as well as tours of the wildflower meadow and wildlife habitats. The boat rides are especially popular, taking passengers to Double Bridge near Reybridge and back again. We also offer exclusive trips for community groups in the mornings.
These rides depend on the weather and the water levels though, so we always advise people to check our social media for any late changes. Boats depart from the wharf at Pewsham Locks, where the pop-up café offers plenty of tea, coffee and cake, and lots of seating beneath the trees – it’s a great location for a relaxing day out.
The site is just a short walk along a footpath from the edge of Pewsham. Directions are available at www.wbct.org.uk/mcc-events (please note there is no public parking at the locks).
Refreshments and boat rides are available by cash donation or scanning a QR code. Last year’s events raised almost £2,000.
For further information call 07510 326730 or email brian.wright@wbct.org.uk
The aim of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is to restore the waterway from the Kennet & Avon Canal near Melksham to the Thames & Severn Canal near Cricklade and the River Thames near Abingdon, connecting Chippenham, Calne, Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon.
New members are always welcome. Visit www.wbct.org.uk

Beginners Nordic Walking Course - 2 Saturday sessions
2025-10-11 10:30 - 12:00 | Monkton Park, Chippenham
Our Beginners Nordic walking course is the perfect introduction to this low-impact, full-body exercise that combines walking with the use of specially designed poles.
Designed for all fitness levels, the course typically covers the fundamentals of proper technique, including posture, rolling through the feet, and the coordinated arm swing and leg movement. Participants learn how to use the poles effectively to engage the upper body, improve balance, and increase cardiovascular benefits compared to regular walking.
The course will be held outdoors in a relaxed, supportive environment, making it a great way to get active, enjoy nature, and meet like-minded people. By the end of the course, participants often notice improved posture, increased speed and distance and confidence in using Nordic walking poles efficiently to incorporate Nordic walking as part of a healthy lifestyle.
The 2 sessions will be held at Monkton Park, meeting at the Tenth Hole Tea Room at 10.30am. For more information or to book a place visit nordicnomads.net and fill in the ‘contact us’ form.

Talk Club Chippenham - mental health fitness for men aged 18+
2025-10-13 19:00 - 21:00 | The Waverley, Chippenham, United Kingdom
How are you? Out of 10?
This meet up is a talking and listen club for men aged 18 and over.
This group meets the 2nd Monday of each month – upstairs at The Waverley.
What’s it about?
A Talk & Listen group is a peer to peer talking group run by volunteers we call Captains.
Captains are trained to facilitate groups in communities across the UK.
These groups are held in person in a safe and quiet space so men can talk and listen using the Talk Club sharing model which starts with ‘How are you? Out of 10?’. This simple question helps men to put a number on how they feel, (1 being rock bottom and 10 being on top of the world) then trying to explain why.
Depending on the number of men attending, sessions last a maximum of two hours.

Chippenham's myths, legends and rumours
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Wine Monkey, 20 Borough Parade, Chippenham, SN15 3WL, United Kingdom
A meeting of History Portal Club, with Lucy Whitfield, Historian
Together we’ll look at commonly-held rumours about incidents in Chippenham’s past that pepper local history discussion, and whether there’s any truth in them – so we’re talking aliens, murders, escaped wild animals, arson plots, palaces, accidents and so on.
This interactive club session will explore the stories that run through the community, from Victorian supposition to mis-remembered details, weighing up the evidence and seeking the truth – if it’s out there.
History Portal Club is a friendly regular meet-up for curious locals who love stories from the past, hidden landmarks, and great company. It’s a great way to explore the local area’s past together – no lectures, no stuffy rooms, just walking, talking, pub chats, and stories you won’t find in the guidebooks.

Life Drawing
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘My favourite time of the week’
A chance to indulge, draw and to practice some essential drawing skills in a beautiful environment, guided by someone with over 25 years teaching experience. You’ll use a diverse range of styles and techniques that stretch you and keep you motivated to improve.
All while enjoying fresh coffee and meeting some other lovely local artists.
Life Drawing is challenging and rewarding, but like drawing anything else, it takes practice and patience.
The best way to encourage practice is to vary the media and techniques available; to make sure this is feasible, we provide materials (donations welcome) This also allows more confidence as using expensive personal materials tends to inhibit experimentation.
Sometimes the session is devoted to a worksheet-style drawing, using many poses on one sheet in different materials. These are a great opportunity to gain confidence in composition, materials and mark-making.
£105 for 6 x 2 hour session term or £20 cash drop-in option (just for our life drawing sessions)
We look forward to meeting you soon.

Friendly Faces is a community group and provides a welcoming space for young people and adults with additional needs.
We meet every 3rd Friday of the month at Station Hill Baptist Church and every 1st Friday of the month we have a social gathering & dog walk meeting at Rivo Lounge.
We welcome you along to our friendly & inclusive community café. We offer refreshments, games, crafts or just a listening ear.
We aim to build and strengthen relationships, social confidence and wellbeing.
Carers/parents & support dogs welcome! We kindly ask for £1 donation.
