Sparkly Singers
2025-02-13 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.

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.
