SUMMARY:Candlelit Yin - Cosy Winter Warmer
DESCRIPTION:Step into warmth and exhale. This cosy yin session is your invitation to relax and soften\, a gentle somatic practice designed for deep rest\, you time\, and a feeling of being held when the weather turns cold. Across two unrushed hours you’ll drop out of the busyness of life and into your body\, resting in supported shapes while your breath\, your heartbeat and the tender hush of the room do the work. \nExpect a darkened space lit by candlelight\, soft music that soothes rather than distracts\, and plenty of props to support every part of you. Settle with an eye pillow if you’d like\, cocooned in blankets\, allowing muscles to release\, fascia to hydrate and the nervous system to melt towards calm. Postures are floor-based\, low effort and held with care\, inviting you to feel\, to notice\, and to soften without strain. \nThis is a special time you deliberately mark for yourself\, a pause that brings you back to centre\, away from screens\, noise and obligation\, so you can reconnect with your inner steadiness. Think of it as a winter sanctuary: cosy\, quiet\, and deeply replenishing. \nWho it’s for: all levels and all bodies\, especially anyone craving warmth\, slow rhythms\, somatic awareness and deep rest. \nSunday 30th November 16.00 – 18.00£20.00 per person 🕯️  \nhttps://dharmabelle.co.uk/event/candlelit-yin-cosy-winter-warmer/ \nPractical notes: the session lasts two hours\, everything is guided and unhurried\, and all props are provided. Just wear comfortable layers\, bring water\, and arrive a few minutes early to settle. When you’re ready to gift yourself this space\, book your mat and come in from the cold.

SUMMARY:Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £21.50.Doors open 7pm\, show starts 7.30pm.This show is for a seated audience.  \nHal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Can’t Take It Hal is back with a brand-new tour for 2025 with a show that promises to stick it to ‘The Man’\, as long as ‘The Man’ doesn’t stick it back to him.  \nWith his trademark hard-hitting ‘take no prisoners’ comedy (this is what Hal told me to write!!!) he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle aged dating\, social media\, the insanity of modern politics and the fact that his daughters love him but don’t respect him. He believes that\, after you’ve seen the show\, you’ll feel exactly the same way.  \nHis last tour was extended four times and he’s one of a select number of comics to have done Live At The Apollo three times and the Royal Variety twice\, TV also includes Have I Got News For You\, The Apprentice You’re Fired\, Bake Off Extra Slice and Would I Lie To You. \n‘Reminded me of how much I love stand up’ ★★★★ The Times‘Go and see Hal Cruttenden\, he’s got something to say and he’ll make you laugh; a lot.’ ★★★★★ Daily Mirror‘Naturally funny…challenging and provocative’ ★★★★ Daily Telegraph

SUMMARY:Chris Ingham's Steely Jazz. SOLD OUT. Returns only.
DESCRIPTION:The songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen\, aka Steely Dan\, stood alone in 1970s rock; cryptic\, pungent lyrics and sophisticated\, detailed music deeply influenced by\, in Becker and Fagen’s own words\, “the best jazz players of the ’50s and ’60s”. \nChris Ingham’s Steely Jazz re-examines the comprehensive Dan canon\, illuminating the singular melodies\, rich harmonies and exploring the small jazz group possibilities of an incomparably opulent songbook. \nFeaturing well-known compositions like Rikki Don’t Lose That Number and Josie\, alongside classic tracks and deep cuts from the masterpiece albums such as Aja\, Gaucho\, Countdown to Ecstacy\, and Katy Lied\, Steely Jazz is a fresh and exciting celebration of two giants of 20th Century popular music. \n​In Harry Greene\, Paul Higgs\, Geoff Gascoyne\, and George Double\, Chris has assembled a stellar group of musicians to perform Becker and Fagen’s songs. \nA must for all Dan fans! \nChris Ingham (Piano/Guitar/Vocals)\, Paul Higgs (Trumpet/Piano)\, Harry Greene (Tenor Sax/Guitar)\, Geoff Gascoyne (Double Bass)\, George Double (Drums/Vocals)
