Raise the Spirits - A mythical gathering for the Heavens (SOLD OUT)
About
Please join us for a fantastic night of fundraising for community ownership of the Heavens Valley. HELP US to save this valuable space so it can be used openly by everyone plus ensure that its unique biodiversity can be protected.
**Join us on: All Soul's Eve - Friday November 1st from 6.15pm - 10.30pm**
A community parade led by Stroud's wonderful Red Band will start from the Crown and Sceptre Pub, Horns Road and make it's way to our venue for the evening of spirit raising at the Trinity Rooms Community Hub.
We are enormously grateful for the fabulous performers who have offered to support the Heavens' Valley cause and who perform on the night.
**Stroud Red Band, Boss Morris Dancers, Johnny Fluffy Punk, Adam Horowitz, Ordinary Folk, Al Hughes, Radical Stroud with DJs The Donnelly Sisters **
The Crown and Sceptre bar will be open before the start of the parade, where bar snacks are available. Once at the Trinity Hub performances will begin!
We are proud to present a mythical evening of spirit raising!
A spell is in motion! A few thousand years in the making and now, just when we need it most, it’s finally ready.
This particular brew contains a willow creation from conjuror Alison Cockroft, processed from the Crown and Sceptre pub by the ever ready Stroud Red Band. Once gathered at the Trinity Rooms, we have a pinch of merry dance from living wonders Boss Morris, a sprinkle of music from the extraordinary Ordinary Folk, incantations from bards Adam Horovitz, Al Hughes and Jonny Fluffypunk, a reckoninge of time from Neil Baker and Radical Stroud, tunes by the Donnelly Sisters plus
But we need *your magic* most of all, if we are going to raise the ancient spirit of the Heavens Valley itself. And you’re very important. 500 years have passed since the spirit was last seen by mortals and with a community purchase underway, we finally get to show what a place like Stroud can do when we have ownership and not just permission. The time is now!!
ALL SOULS are required! If you love the land, bring your memories, your hopes, your hearts, your human or animal forms, your finest costumes and your bells, whistles, pots and pans and noise makers. The organisers have completed the health and safety form for the physical manifestation of an elemental force and await YOUR presence.
Parade from Crown and Sceptre to Trinity Hub starts at 6.15pm, Performances at the Trinity Hub start at 7pm.
