SUMMER
CHOIR CAMP AT Busses
Farm
– 2010
Friday 18th June from midday – Sunday evening 20th June
2010
After
last year’s successful singing camp at St Ives Farm we now have a wonderful new
venue for this year’s camp. Busses Farm is located just south of East Grinstead
in the beautiful Sussex countryside and is an organic farm with some great
facilities. There is a farm shop, recording studio, yurt and an 8 bed apartment
house. See below for details. We will be camping in the old orchard which is a
lovely private space.
Although we can only accommodate a limited number of singers in the
workshops there is more space on this site for non-singers. Where possible it would be great if
singers could share tents and transport.
This is
a non-profit making event for us all to enjoy.
The 8 bed dormitory apartment is available to rent for the weekend at
a cost of approx £200. Any group who would like to rent the whole apartment
should contact Busses farm directly to arrange - http://www.yoghurtroomsrecordingstudio.com/
This cost will be in addition to the choir camp
fee.
