Join us for a perfect combination of fire, nature and singing!

We’re very excited to announce that the next event in our programme of Natural Wellbeing sessions will be FIRE CHOIR on 24th August.

Apparently the 2 things which are most helpful for wellbeing are music and nature. We’re bringing them both together in Stanmer Park in the form of Fire Choir! From 6-8pm we’ll be learning songs with Elizabeth Swift who runs a range of nature-connected singing events in and around East Anglia, including outdoor singing groups. Singing together is a practice which our ancestors would have done long ago and (to paraphrase Abba) we probably learned to sing before we could talk! This session is designed to draw people together in community to learn some songs, techniques and music-making that are simple and suitable for all - whether you think you’re a singer or not

 Price will be £25 per head (£15 for concessions and Grow Community members) and will include fire and refreshments. All profits from the event will help support the work of Grow.

 Places are limited so you will need to book tickets which you can do by clicking on this link https://ti.to/grow-events/fire-choir or if you’re not able to book online you can register your interest by emailing us at info@growingwellbeing.org.uk or texting 07557 501557
