Last chance to see The Nutcracker

The candles are lit, the majestic grand pianos are poised on stage, the nutcrackers are stood to attention. But have you booked your place?

Here’s your last chance to buy tickets to see a unique concert performance of the famous Tchaikovsky story THE NUTCRACKER. There are just a few tickets left, and only 3 performances. If you’re lucky you might get in…

View the Oak Room

Come and experience a musical storytelling in the dramatic setting of the Oak Room in the Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre. The venue is easily reached from the nearest villages and towns including Lambourn, Hungerford, Newbury, Wantage or even Oxford.

Live and untamed

Maxine Parsons the event organiser says, “We have lots of local families coming. They love the fact that this countryside venue gives their children a chance to enjoy live classical music that they otherwise would not experience. You can feel the music through the floor – it’s untamed, not moderated on an mp3 player.”

“The music is beautifully arranged for 2 pianos and a narrator, and it is to be presented by internationally acclaimed musicians, Mikhail Kazakevich, Elena Zozina and Richard Morris. We devised this original event for these very few 2009 pre-Christmas performances.”

Performance times & inclusive refreshments:

Fri 4 Dec – 6pm mulled wine and buffet supper. Performance at 7.30pm.

Sat 5 Dec – 2pm afternoon performance – followed by high tea.

Sat 5 Dec – 6pm mulled wine and buffet supper. Performance at 7.30pm.

More love than ever

We have seen more weddings than ever this year, and still the list of enquiries grows with couples calling us up to two years in advance of the big day!

Sheepdrove provides the discerning bride and groom with an unforgettable alternative wedding venue. Our eco-friendly building is adorned with art and surrounded by a stunning landscape, high on the Berkshire Downs. People fall in love with the place when they come to see it. The Oak Room – the ceremonial hall – takes your breath away. Its high timber arches are topped with a line of windows at the peak of the room. The Dining Room has two levels and a spiral staircase. Outdoors the courtyard awaits and the heavenly fragrances of the herb garden.

Wedding photographers enjoy the place, too. Take a peek at some pictures by Paul Glavin and A Little Different Photography.

Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre’s full-time job, as it were, is to be a beautiful countryside meeting place for businesses, our daily client set who return again and again for the excellent service, gorgeous cuisine, and the inimitable setting.

But on very special Saturdays, we have enjoyed hosting some very wonderful weddings. To make yours one of them, please call our friendly team on 01488 674737 and ask for a viewing.
