This night is here to change that.
It’s a space for single women to meet, chat, and build new friendships, without any pressure or awkwardness.
How the evening works
First Hour – Getting to Know Each Other
This part is structured so you don’t have to think about who to talk to.• You’ll move around in small groups
• You’ll have simple conversation starters to get things flowing
• There’ll be a few light games to make it easierIt’s relaxed, guided, and takes away that “where do I start?” feeling.
Then… the Disco
Once everyone’s warmed up, we move into a proper night out.
• Music
• Dancing
• Chatting with the people you’ve metTheme: Pyjama Party (optional)
We encourage you to come along in your comfy pjs - but this is optional, so if this isn't for you, no pressure, come along in something you do feel comfortable in.
Who it’s for
• Single ladies of any age who want to meet new friends.
Coming on your own?
Most people will be.
That’s exactly why it works.Spaces are limited
This has been highly requested and is expected to fill, so don't wait! -

15:00 - 17:00 30th August 2026
More InformationShakespeare's classic comedy brought to joyful life by an all-female company
In a world where singing is banned and love is forbidden, the Forest of Arden provides a haven for outlaws to revel in a creative rebellion where love blossoms on every branch.
About the Show:
Duke Frederick has banished his brother, and along with him, banished all joy from the court. Under Frederick’s puritan regime, there is no singing, no art and certainly no falling in love. So, when Rosalind falls in love with a young wrestler, Orlando, she is banished from the court.
Disguised as a man, Rosalind flees to the Forest of Arden, along with her cousin Celia and the fool Touchstone. There they find a joyful rebellion of song, poetry and theatre. Rosalind’s father, with his band of outlaws, sing and revel in their wild woodland life, while shepherds roam with love always on their minds and Orlando fills the wood with poetry proclaiming his love for Rosalind.
About the Company:
The Whole Pack is an all-female Shakespeare company bringing something daring and different to Shakespeare to bring the magic of Shakespeare’s plays to life for audiences.
Reviews of our previous productions include:
"The love of Shakespeare’s language is apparent in its delivery, and the ensemble work well together, never missing a step. This company have great promise, and a close eye should be kept on their future work." -Caroline Worswick, North West End Theatre
“It’s colourful, full of humour and very beautiful: one of those rare shows it which it was quite difficult not to smile with pleasure throughout.” -Susan Elkin

Wollerton Old HallMore InformationGarden open for charity
Four acre garden created around C16 house (not open). Formal structure creates variety of gardens each with own colour theme and character. Planting is mainly of perennials many in their late summer and early autumn hues, particularly the asters.
Created 40 years ago around a Tudor house (not open), this quality garden has been extensively filmed by all major TV channels and also Japanese TV.
Designed by the owner, Lesley Jenkins, this outstanding garden combines a strong structure with clever planting combinations using perennials. The early spring shows of anemones, hellebores and trilliums are followed by tulips, aquilegias and oriental poppies. The summer roses herald the arrival of the delphiniums which in turn give way to the dominance of stately hollyhocks and vibrant phlox. August sees the hot garden ignited which still burns when the asters and euonymus seed capsules arrive in September.
Featured on Monty Don's British Gardens- Ep3 (2025).
Admission £10. Children free. Light lunches from 12:00. Cream teas from 14:00. Plant sale.
