SEPT 1st - 3rd 2023: LATE SUMMER SINGING WEEKEND IN SHEFFIELD
As our Big Summer Sing sold out so fast this year, we’re delighted to announce a new Late Summer Sing weekend on 1st – 3rd September 2023! Please book your place by buying a 'ticket' here and we will be in touch!
This will be a very special Singing Weekend, taking place at the end of summer on the hilly outer-edges of Sheffield, focused on group singing, learning some great harmony songs and enjoying ourselves. We'll eat delicious home cooked food, enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and experience the joy of singing together.
This weekend will be run by Hazel and Rowan as Hannah will be on maternity leave, but they will be joined by an assistant tutor to help lead us all in glorious three part harmony!
We invite singers of all abilities to stretch themselves, discover something new, gain more confidence and, most importantly, have a lot of fun. We have been running singing weekends and week-long courses over the past decade and they are incredibly popular. With well-being, good food and a friendly approach at the centre of the weekend, participants should expect to sing lots within the safety and big sound of a group. We never ask anyone to sing on their own and aim for everyone (however experienced or not) to get something out of the workshop.
Each singing weekend is a little different and for this one we’re focusing on the pure joy of singing in a big group! The weekend will include activities such as: thorough physical, breathing and vocal warm ups, learning rounds and simple songs, learning some bigger more complex group songs in glorious three part harmony and having a go at improvisation in an inspiring and supportive atmosphere. We’ll be singing some of our favourite Lady Maisery songs and some exciting new things too!
In a slightly different timetable to our previous Sheffield singing weekends, we’ll gather at 8pm on Friday night to meet each other and begin singing together, and we’ll finish with Sunday lunch at The Royal in Dungworth. On Saturday night we'll share a delicious banquet followed by an 'open-stage' where participants can get up to share a song, a poem, a turn of some kind - this is always a highlight of the weekend.
Venues:
Friday – Saturday: Underbank School Room, 828 Stannington Rd, Sheffield S6 6AP
Sunday – Dungworth Village Hall, Main Rd, Dungworth, Sheffield S6 6HF
Price: £170 incl all teaching and food for Sat lunch + dinner. Sunday lunch at the Royal not included (which is why the price is lower than the summer weekend). You'll need to find your own accommodation. If funds are an issue, please get in touch as we have a limited number of places at reduced price in exchange for a bit of helping out during the weekend.

about lady maisery singing weekends
Lady Maisery Singing Weekends are immersive 2 or 3 day workshops exploring the joy of singing. We warmly invite singers of all abilities to stretch themselves, discover something new, gain more confidence and, most importantly, have a lot of fun! We have been running these weekends for the past few years and they are incredibly popular. With well-being, good food and a friendly approach at the centre of the workshop, participants should expect to sing lots within the safety and big sound of a group. We never ask anyone to sing on their own and aim for everyone (however experienced or not) to get something out of the workshop.
Each singing weekend is a little different, but a typical weekend includes activities such as: thorough physical, breathing and vocal warm ups, learning group songs in 3 part harmony, creating a harmony singing toolkit, an introduction to music theory, group harmony making improvisation and a chance to work in smaller groups on your own harmony and arrangements.
