Becca Hoodless, Birds of the Borough Exhibition

2 months ago

“Birds of the Borough” by artist Becca Hoodless is a collection of paintings inspired by birds she has spotted in green spaces around South London. Each bird has been painted onto wooden offcuts, sustainably sourced and given a second life. Every painting is based on a bird she has seen in real life. Discovering these green spaces and connecting with nature has transformed Becca’s daily life, and she now genuinely looks forward to getting outdoors and wandering to work, regardless of the weather!

Christmas Concert by We Music

5 months ago

About We MusicWe Music 4 Kids is a children’s string orchestra experience where children learn to play an instrument and express themselves through music. We combine music with storytelling to make learning engaging and fun. Children develop their musical skills by interpreting the story, characters, and plot through their instruments, helping them connect music with emotions and creativity.

Join us for a heartwarming Christmas celebration inspired by How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Friday, 5th December at 6:00 pm at the Sands End Community Centre. We Music children from Holy Cross, Servite, Melcombe, and Bousfield Primary Schools, together with the Bousfield School Choir, will come together as one big musical family to fill the evening with festive joy. Get ready to sing along to your favourite Christmas songs and help the Grinch grow her heart!
