The winter programme of events is now live at Graylingwell Chapel, bringing together live comedy, music, dancing, wine tasting and pure inspiration from a para-Olympian gold medallist.
Friday 11th November brings ‘An Evening with Aaron Phipps’ – a real life super-human. A gold winning Paralympic champion, Aaron plays the brutal, only full-contact disability sport, Wheelchair Rugby aka Murderball. His team went from being 5th in the world to the best on the planet, in the middle of a global pandemic! Added to which in 2016 Aaron became the first person in the world to scale Kilimanjaro on his hands and knees as a fundraising challenge he set himself. This evening is sure to inspire all who attend, leaving everybody feeling productive, motivated and focused for their own future.
Those looking to make a party night of it can look to book tickets for the brilliant Barn Dance on the 18th November where a live band will bring everybody to their feet, calling out the moves so even the most novice dancers can take to the floor.
Businesses and friend groups have the perfect Christmas party designed and ready for them at the Tinwood Wine Tasting and Christmas Party. Able to book by the table or as individuals, guests will sample the range of sparkling wines available from local vineyard Tinwood guided by its founders, with cheeseboards to enjoy as they drink. The tasting session will be followed by dancing with a DJ entertaining the guests all evening.
Following the sell-out success of Gigspanner at the Chapel earlier this year, two of its legendary musicians will be returning on Wednesday 7th December. Peter Knight and John Spiers will be playing songs from their latest album ‘Both in a Tune’ which has received outstanding critical acclaim, and was named as one of the ‘10 Best New Albums from Around the World’ by the influential music journal, SONGLINES. Together they have created a musical sound that should inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk dancing heritage
The Chichester Comedy Club is also returning on the 16th December for an unmissable pre-Christmas evening of laughter. The evening will feature Tom Glover as the MC, introducing Andrew Mensah (soon to be starring in TV’s new Fantasy Football league alongside Matt Lucas and Elis James), Andy Haynes and Mitch Benn.
“We hope there is something for everybody in this season’s line up at The Chapel,” commented Clare de Bathe, CCDT Director. “Still in the first year of being open we’ve already learned a lot about what people want, and this second half of the year brings together so much talent and variety in what’s available, all at an affordable cost. We really look forward to welcoming faces we know well and lots of new people to this incredible venue.”
