Based in the medieval village of Dunster, the Yarn Market Hotel has a 2 night 3 day choral singing break exploring two masterpieces Pergolesi Magnificat and Monteverdi Beatus Vir. The tutor for the break is Tom Newall who the Music Director of Congleton and Salford Choral Societies. The weekend concludes with a public performance by the choir in Dunster’s historic Tithe Barn. Residential package from £275.00 per person, Non residential places also available from £40.00.

Join renowned illustrator, Jackie Morris, on International Dawn Chorus Day as she celebrates seven years collaborating with Robert Macfarlane to produce their dazzling field guide to British birdlife.

From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie and Robert conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book that will be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.

We are thrilled that Jackie is able to lead this quiet, contemplative walk, listening to birdsong ahead of the book’s highly anticipated publication on the 7th of May.

The walk will be followed by a hearty breakfast and book signing opportunity - we do hope you are able to join us.
