To close our annual well dressing celebrations, we have a special music day with the Magic Voices Choir and the Phoenix Bell Ringers. You can make a full day of it in Chadkirk: Stockport Hydro also has an open day and it’s the Romiley Young Farmers’ Show. (Scroll down for more info.)
Magic Voices Choir
A wide variety of stage, screen and popular music choices.
Magic Voices is a friendly, local choir made up of members of the Marple community who enjoy singing for fun. Everyone is welcome, whatever level of experience you have in singing and regardless of whether you can read music or not. With musical arrangements written specially for the various Magic Voices choirs, up and down the UK, they get together each week to sing a wide variety of stage, screen and popular music choices. They always welcome new members, and a first taster session is free if you want to give them a try. The choir is for both men and women, who enjoy singing for their mental health and for the social benefits as much as the music.
Phoenix Bell Ringers
The Phoenix Bell Ringers have performed with us many times and are always popular with the audience. The sound of handbells is lovely in the chapel, so this is well worth your time to come along and give them a listen. .
The kiosk inside the chapel will be selling refreshments such as hot and cold drinks, cakes and biscuits (cash only). Why not pop down for a break, a chat and to explore this lovely, listed building, the walled garden and perhaps take a walk around the Chadkirk Trail? All funds raised are used for the benefit of Chadkirk, the chapel, the walled garden and the country estate.
If you’re new to the chapel, and driving to reach us, the car park is on Vale Road, just on the left as you turn off the main road. The chapel can then be reached on foot via the road and path.
It’s a big day around Chadkirk
Also on in and around Chadkirk on this day. – a couple of other events to make this Sunday a very full day indeed.!
