Voices Blooming at Wentworth Castle Gardens

As the gardens bloom into colour, enjoy uplifting music from community choirs during your visit to Wentworth Castle Gardens.

For the third year, community choirs will be coming together to celebrate the hopeful blossoms of spring in some of the most beautiful spots in the garden.

This year, we are delighted to welcome three local choirs:

Uplift Choir brings together people of different ages who have varying life experiences and conditions, promoting better mental health through singing together.

Body of Sound is a women’s singing group based in Sheffield, who have been singing together for 29 years (longer than their youngest members!)

Civic Pride Singers is a singing and social group for the LGBTIA+ community in Barnsley. This is the first time they have joined us at the Voices Blooming event.

The groups will be singing in different segments of the Union Jack Gardens between 11.30 and 2.30pm. Look out for signs taking you to the performance spaces or just follow the sound of singing!

There will also be blossom-themed craft activities for all ages to enjoy.

If the weather is wet, choirs will be based in the Conservatory.

This event is part of the Festival of Blossom, a shared annual celebration of the joy of nature for and by everyone, everywhere.

Festival of Blossom is supported by the players of the People's Postcode Lottery.
