About
The Weekend
An invite to all our didje, drum and music friends
to come along and celebrate a winter gathering here at Tapeley.
The weekend
will be a private function and all are welcome to attend but we would ask that
a donation, £20, be made towards the use of the facilities. As usual with
our Tapeley Gatherings, the Great Barn will be the centre of attention for the
weekend and will have the woodburner pushing out lots of festive warmth from our
sustainably harvested wood the whole weekend.
Tapeley is closed to the
public throughout winter so most people never get to experience the beauty and
peacefulness of the park at this time of year. Worth a visit!
Please contact
us to let us know if you will be attending so that we have some idea of numbers.

Dress
You Up Saturday
It's time to dust off ya 'glad rags'.
A
fancy dress night without a theme. Be beautiful, controversial, outrageous, stunning,
different, or whatever takes your fancy, just 'have it large'/'have fun'/'a bit
of burlesque' with your appearance and attitude.
