• Come and sing in the exceptional cloisters and hillside garden at Iford Manor. All the songs and harmonies will be taught by ear by Jane Harris, Director of Songways.  Thursday 31 July 2:45 - 5:15pm Iford is an “other-worldly” place with an exquisite garden nestled in a sheltered valley. We will sing in several parts of the garden, including the Loggia, the Great Terrace, the Casita and the Italianate Cloisters. To sing at Iford is a particularly special way to enjoy all that it has to offer: to savour the sounds we create in different parts of the garden, listen to the bird song, relish the privilege of having the cloisters to ourselves, enjoy learning songs and harmonies together and feast our eyes on the wonderful vistas throughout the garden.  Comments from previous singing events at Iford led by Jane:
    “Wonderful choice of songs… a real feast” “Singing, surroundings, weather… all perfect” “Beautiful sensory experience”
    Please bring a bottle of water... plus sun hat or umbrella depending on the weather. The excellent Cafe at Iford will be open before the event for refreshments and light lunches. Please note that there are steep steps and uneven paths. Peto Garden, Iford Manor, Iford, Bradford-on-Avon BA15 2BA Map & directions | Free parking in the orchard car park.
