Lights Out events - The Apple Sellers

Dear Blogger

Message from chris woods <lightsouttrefonen@gmail.com> forwarded by Ingrid Knowles, Oswestry net

FINAL REMINDER - ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO SO GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!

THE APPLE SELLERS AT OSWESTRY CRICKET CLUB - see attached poster


The Apple Sellers are a contemporary folk duo from Manchester that blend elements of modern classical and traditional folk and spiritual music to create captivating musical performances. It is a unique approach that has seen them gain standing ovations at both folk festivals and classical music events.
The duo consists of the acclaimed musician and storyteller Martin Purdy, frontman of the award-winning folk trio Harp & a Monkey, and gifted multi-instrumentalist Ian Mayer (#halfblindbassist) from Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester. The pair, who first met in (and continue to meet in) a community orchard, bonded over a shared passion for the power of musical storytelling. The result is an evocative sound underpinned by piano, double bass, harmonium, shruti box drones and strong harmony vocals.
“Folk music deconstructed, reimagined and reassembled with a soupçon of Indian secular drone, a pinch of Gorecki, Riech, Glass minimalism, and a passing nod to La Monte Young, accompanying lyrics of dark, strange, humorous tales. Original, rewarding and very entertaining!

Our Great Summer of Fun

Every week of the summer holidays, we have a different themed event, which means there will be a new experience every time you visit. As well as the themed fun, you can meet the animals, explore the different educational areas, take tractor rides, and enjoy all our many indoor and outdoor play areas.

The first themed event of the holidays will be Let’s Get Physical from July 18th until July 26th with a Junior Disco, welly wanging, a punchbag for kids, giant target football, basketball, and different methods of movement around the farm.   Next up is Dino Week from July 27th until August 2nd. Visitors can meet Dora the Dino, dance with Dougie the Velociraptor, take part in fossil digging with each child taking home two fossils, and watch Roary, the hugely popular robotic dinosaur in his very own Roarry the Roarrbot Show.  Maisy’s Maize Maze will reopen during the holidays with a Wild West theme. This ties in with their new event, Wild West Week, from August 3rd to August 9th. Have a go at line dancing, wild west bean bag throwing, lasso/hoop throwing, take part in an interactive wild west trail, and pose for a 'Wanted' poster.  That is followed by Science Week from August 10th to 16th, featuring Grandolph the Wizard’s science show and experiments. You can turn a windmill to power a car, and see rockets being launched.  From August 17th to 23rd, Bop and Pop Week will celebrate a summer of fun. There will be a junior disco with games, party games, a bubble machine, and a silent disco.   Finally, from August 24th to 30th, it’s Falconry Week, where Shropshire Falconry will hold flying displays and visitors will have the chance to meet some incredible birds.

Tickets during the summer event weeks are £13.60 per person online or £15.50 per person at the farm entrance, and under 2s are free.
