We (Katy Rose Bennett and Rosie Sleightholme) are delighted to invite you to take part in a full weekend of a cappella singing in the beautiful surrounds of Camp Plas, Dolanog in Mid-Wales (near Welshpool).

We are both experienced singers, songwriters and community choir leaders and we love getting people singing in sweet a cappella harmony.

The weekend

For this weekend, we’ll be sharing our own original songs and, as Natural Voice Network leaders, we teach by ear. There’s no need to read music or to have had any previous singing experience. All ages and abilities welcome. Any under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Children 12 and under go free. Children 13-18 need a £40 ticket.

You can camp in your own tent or campervan (if you're coming for all the singing and camping in your own tent or van, the full price [£110] is per person, even if you're sharing a tent or van). You can also just come for the day on Saturday for the singing workshop without camping, or you can stay nearby and just pay for 'All the singing' (Fri night, Sat day and Sun morning).

Venue

We’ll be singing in Barney’s Barn - a big, resonant, sheltered space with one side open to the gorgeous views across Camp Plas.

Camp Plas is nestled in the Welsh countryside surrounded by hills, trees and the River Vyrnwy - there’s a lovely swimming spot accessed from the camp site.

For more info about the site and the facilities, see https://camp-plas.com/

Big thanks to Roxane Smith for all her support in making this weekend possible. Here’s a taste of previous singing weekends at Barney’s barn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRv26Me1Jf8

You are welcome to bring well-behaved dogs to the site.
