[description] => During your choir holiday, you’ll come together in the mornings to practice singing under the guidance of your choirmaster. The session will last around 3 hours, including mid-morning break, and will end at lunchtime.
Our singing sessions have been crafted to suit a range of abilities and both absolute beginners and seasoned singers are welcome. There’s no expectation of you to be able to sight-read sheet music, just turn up and sing – it’s all about taking part and having fun. We’ll be looking at a variety of different music pieces throughout, expect some well-known favourites as well as some new tunes. We’ll experiment with simple harmonies and key techniques, such as breathing and posture.
In the afternoons, we'll take to the great outdoors and enjoy a guided walk from the front door of our country house. Led by one of our experienced HF Holidays Leaders, we’ll explore the very best of the surrounding countryside. For more details about the walks, please view the Walks Information below.
In the early evening, you'll regroup for a fun refresher session before dinner.
On the final night, they'll be an option to take part in an informal performance, or you can choose to simply sit back and enjoy watching your fellow guests sing live. It’s a wonderful opportunity to show off and celebrate together in joyful song.
Walks Information:
Day 2 - Ilam
Distance: 4 miles (6.5km)
Ascent: 400 feet (120m)
In summary: Taking a route round iconic Thorpe Cloud we then cross the River Dove (bridge) and follow pasture land to the unique village of Ilam. There will be plenty of time to explore the grounds of Ilam Hall before returning by the river on the Manifold Way and then ascending back to Thorpe on an old coaching track now the Limestone Way.
Highlight: Beautiful Ilam Park with its Hall and the pseudo Alpine village of Ilam.
Day 3 - Tissington Circular
Distance: 4½ miles (7km)
Ascent: 400 feet (120m)
In summary: We walk to Tissington on grassland, through the gates and along the tree lined Avenue. After time to look round the village the walk returns on the Tissington Trail (former London and North Western railway)to the site of Thorpe station
Highlight: The charming estate village of Tissington, home of the FitzHerbert family for over 500 years.
