Belshazzar’s Feast – Postponed It is with a heavy heart that we have chosen to postpone the Belshazzar’s Feast Christmas concert on December 23rd. With 140 people expected to turn up, we didn’t feel that we could operate the concert in a way that would be safe or comfortable for many attendees, organisers or staff. Our intention is to reschedule the concert for the Spring, and we are currently working with the venue to sort out a date.
Tickets will automatically become valid for the reorganised event once it has been confirmed, and we will let you know those details as soon as we have them, at which point you can choose to be reallocated or take a refund.
Many thanks, and we hope you have a warm and safe Christmas.
Sincerely, The Whitchurch Folk Club Team

Whitchurch Winter Festival 18th – 21st Dec – TICKETS NOW ON SALE Thanks to some generous funding from Arts Council England, we have a fantastic line-up of high-quality activities for (mainly) primary school age children and some for-pre-school children.
Each individual child ticket is £15 and this includes a total of 9 activities.
Each child festival ticket includes:
– 6x arts and crafts activities
– 1 pantomime performance
– 1 music-making session
– 1 dance/activity session
As before, with the summer outdoors festival, we are allocating 25% of all tickets for free to local families facing financial hardship, and we thank Whitchurch Primary School for distributing our letter to parents.
Whitchurch Winter Festival will be held at 3 sites in Whitchurch over 4 days: Saturday 18th, Sunday 19th, Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st December, from 10am to 3:30pm each day.
The 3 sites are: Gill Nethercott Centre (arts and crafts sessions), Parish Hall (music-making sessions and pantomime) and Testbourne Dance Studio (dance/activity sessions)
We have a really fantastic number of activities lined up including pantomime, Japanese taiko drums, Indonesian Gamelan orchestra, face painting, printing, origami, metal decoration making, weaving and lantern-making. Dance activities include street dance and Indian dance as well as mindfulness.
As this is an indoors festival, we have really scaled back on ticket numbers. This means we will be focusing on promoting the event to local Whitchurch families for the first week, before releasing on to a wider audience.
So that we can manage the flow of traffic, reduce the risk of crowding and guarantee sessions for our attendees, we are asking for all sessions to be pre-booked. Sessions can be booked on any of the four days. Booking Process: This is a two-step system. Firstly; purchase a £15 ticket for each child.
Second; once payment has been received, you will receive an email listing activities available and links to book the 9 sessions.
FREE TICKETS: Some parents at Whitchurch Primary School will already have received a letter regarding a free ticket and we look forward to hearing from you on email
Finally, if you can spare it, we would really appreciate a small donation to help towards our running costs. We are a volunteer group, funded entirely by our own funds and grants.
Kind regards,
Lucie Follett Maitland, Jackie Browne and Andy Smith
