[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 – Luccombe & Horner
Distance: 4 miles (6½km)
Total ascent: 400 feet (120m)
In summary: Walk via local estate roads and lanes to the pretty village of Luccombe then on to Horner with its tea gardens. We then return to Holnicote House.

Day 3 – Holnicote to Selworthy
Distance: 3 miles (5km)
Ascent: 800 feet (240m)
In summary: We walk on a circular route from Holnicote House today to Selworthy. We will take time to explore the 15th century church, thatched cottages around the green and, maybe, visiting the tearoom, before returning to the house.
Highlight: Visit the picture-postcard village of Selworthy.
Day 4 – Pop to Porlock
Distance: 5½ miles (8.5km)
Ascent: 750 feet (230m)
