Yoga in the Gardens<\/h2>\n

Outdoor Yoga classes begin in Walkden Gardens on 20 July (weather permitting). As usual they will be on Tuesday evenings 6-7 pm, all welcome, just turn up with a mat! These classes are donation based, with a suggestion donation of \u00a35 or pay what you can. At least 50 per cent goes to the Friends of Walkden Gardens group who do such a fantastic job of maintaining and developing the beautiful gardens. If you haven’t been before, do come along this year. Practising Yoga outdoors adds a special dimension to your practise, and the theatre lawn with it’s hedging and mature trees is a perfect setting which allows for privacy too. Please keep your eye on my facebook page which I’ll link below for any cancellations due to weather, or if you aren’t on facebook you can call or text me on 07732 321156.<\/p>\n

Awful Auntie<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sunday 19 June 2022 at 4pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Awful Auntie by David Walliams, adapted for the outdoor stage by Heartbreak Productions, is a truly thrilling tale. Owls, ghosts, chases, escapes, motorcycle rides, and tiddlywinks all fill Stella\u2019s days as she evades her menacing Aunt and saves the family home. So, please join us at the dedication of the new playground at Saxby Hall and hear how it all came about. Make sure you bring a blanket or chair to sit on, weather-appropriate gear, and a picnic, as the tale could take some time to tell, and storytelling can be hungry work!<\/p>\n
