Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (‘lighter’ 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.

Beginners Art workshops
2025-07-01 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
