WILD SINGING IN THE COTSWOLDS with Dave Camlin and Helen Chadwick

WILD SINGING IN THE COTSWOLDS + Helen Chadwick and Dave Camlin

Saturday 8th August to Sunday 9th August 2026 near Stroud, UK

A non residential weekend of singing indoors and out.

Dave has been hosting WILD SINGING in the Lake District for the last few years with Helen as one of the guests teachers. This is our first version further south. 

We will start each day singing in a lovely hall in Nailsworth and then set out to walk and find places to sing along ancient woodland, beside streams and on the Cotswold Way itself with magnificent views over the Severn Estuary and beyond to the Welsh mountains (weather permitting!). The walking will not be strenuous but gentle.  Cars may be used to get to the start of a local walk and we will organise car sharing.

Lots of tea, coffee and snacks will be available at the hall and there are several good Nailsworth cafes and a brilliant bakery.

Who Is It For?
The workshop is open to all who sing. 
Participants: 28
