One Chippenham

Sparkly Singers
2025-02-20 20:00 - 21:15 (Europe/London) | Lansdowne Hall – Derry Hill
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.

Open Monday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm, until 8 March.
This exhibition is the fourth in Chippenham Museum’s Spotlight series dedicated to its growing Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.
The project began in 2019 with the desire to celebrate the rich artistic history of this part of North Wiltshire. As a permanent collection, it acts as a source of inspiration, education and enjoyment for all.
At the heart of the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection are works that acknowledge the legacy of the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, a pioneering residential art school that counted some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art amongst its teachers and students.
North Wiltshire’s creativity proudly extends beyond the Academy, and the collection records and celebrates the many contemporary artists who continue to live and work in this area today.
The exhibition featured work by the following artists:
Kay Le Seelleur Ara, Kenneth Armitage, Guy Bigland, Alma Boyes, Susie Brooks, John Chilver, Dominic Clare, Andrew Cross, William Crozier, Anna Currey, Simone Dawood, Stephen Ellis, Alex Faulkner, Selina Fischer, Astrid Furnival, John Furnival, Katherine Gili, Patrick Haines, Keith Harrison, Verity James, Richard Kennedy, David King, Julia Manning, Michael Stubbs, Marianne Fox-Ockinga, Ione Parkin, Tim Parry-Williams, Michael Pennie, Jackie Pope, Terry Pope, Paul Rudall, James Scott, Robert Scott, William Scott, Jack Shirreff, Alice Sielle, Hugh Hamshaw Thomas, Julia Vezza, Helen Wilks, and Alistair Young.
Further details about the artworks can also be found in the accompanying catalogue available in the museum shop.

Beginners Art workshops
2025-02-25 09:30 - 23:30 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners.
Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art.
Tuesdays at 9.30am – 11.30am
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
Term 2 – Objects in interiors (drawing, painting) – November 5th – December 10th
Term 3 – Portrait (painting)- January 7th – Feb 11th
Term 4 – Interiors (drawing)- Feb 26th – April 2nd
Term 5 – Landscape (painting) – April 23rd – June 4th
Term 6 – Still life revisited (collage, mixed media) – June 11th – July 16th
In both beginners and improvers, the sessions we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way. Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with ours.
(Please note: all Improvers courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners)
Price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon

All Good Afternoon Choir members enjoy singing Matt’s very special arrangements, especially at the Big Sings when all the Good Afternoon Choirs join together to sing in one venue.
A warm welcome awaits any new members, there are NO auditions and everyone is welcome! There is no charge for attending your first rehearsal. Come alone or with a friend – either way Matt and the Choir will be pleased to meet you. You will be joining over 1,000 people singing at Good Afternoon Choirs around the South West and beyond!

The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay £58 per term – this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a membership form should you wish to join the choir – your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.
If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Tracey or Karin via email gac@grenvillemusic.co.uk or tel 01761 472468.
