Dear Friends,

We are excited to share with you the latest documentary short from the award-winning filmmaker Brett Chapman - Crayons & Opera.

Brett’s previous documentaries followed us as we found our feet running a working men’s club and later a food bank.

The stars of this newest film are the brilliant pupils of Ingram Road Primary School, our neighbours in Holbeck. Last summer, all 180 pupils in Key Stage 2 performed in our big community opera Noah’s Flood with our talented friends Manchester Collective as part of Leeds 2023 Year of Culture and Manchester International Festival.

Here are a few words from Brett -

Opera has traditionally been seen as an art form catering to the more affluent and culturally elite segments of society with only around 1-4% of the UK’s population having ever attended a performance.

Meanwhile in Leeds, a city with its own national opera company, the community of Holbeck faces significant socio-economic challenges and inequalities compared to other parts of the city. Holbeck currently ranks as one of the most deprived areas in Yorkshire.

Nestled in the heart of Holbeck, Ingram Road Primary School has a student body of nearly 350 young people with over 52 languages spoken by its pupils and now, alongside resident artists Slung Low, they’re about to perform in their very own opera. 


We hope you enjoy the show!

July Tours

 

 

Time For An Irish Escape

 

 

 

 

Hi,

 

 

 


Are you ready for an Irish summer?

Longer days spent enjoying invigorating hikes, exhilarating bike rides, and swimming in the salty sea while the warm sun envelops you. Watching the sunset drop over the cliffside while breathing in the wild Atlantic air. Finish your day and unwind with a pint in a small but bustling pub. Bask in the adventures of the day while looking out at the dramatic scenery that surrounds you.

Join us in July, where we will guide you through the moon-like landscape of the Burren, the green woodlands that await you in Kerry, and the remote islands along Ireland’s rugged west coast.

What are you waiting for?

De Vere Latimer Estate

 

De Vere Latimer Estate

 

Beautiful Buckinghamshire and beyond

Sitting proudly in the Buckinghamshire countryside, overlooking the Chess Valley, De Vere Latimer Estate makes for an enchanting base for days out exploring the local area.

If you and your little ones are fanatical about all things Harry Potter, you'll be pleased to know that Warner Bros. Studios Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter is just 18 minutes' drive away - a mercifully short distance if you've got a car full of excited muggles. In the other direction you'll find the home of Roald Dahl, where you can explore the great man's house in a fun-filled, interactive attraction. If culture and history are your thing, look no further than the beautiful city of St Albans and the atmospheric Chenies Manor - rumoured to have a secret tunnel linking it to De Vere Latimer Estate...
