CORE-Us is an invitation to connect with ourselves, with each other, with nature and the seasons at the monthly singing workshops in the stunning CORE building at St Ives Community Orchard.

Local singing leader Pip Wright will weave singers into beautiful unaccompanied harmonies in no time. Songs are mostly taught by ear (with lyrics sheets available for those who wish) – no need to be able to read music.

CORE-Us workshops are an opportunity to raise your voice and raise your spirits in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. All voices welcome – low voices, high voices, bold voices, shy voices, ‘haven’t sung for years’ or ‘no idea what I am’ voices.

At CORE-Us workshops we welcome people dropping in for one session, as well as those who would like to sing regularly - gradually growing a singing community in this precious community space.

CORE-Us afternoons includes a break – with time to meet fellow singers or visit the orchard and hot drinks available from the ‘St Ives Community Orchard’ kitchen (donations welcome).

We are trialling a tiered pricing system (£5/£10/£15) to keep CORE-Us as accessible as possible – you are welcome to pay what you can afford. 

CORE-Us Workshops will take place on the following Sunday afternoons, 2.00 - 4.30pm (with a tea break):

1. Sunday 16th Feb '25
