Monday 19 October 2026 Venue:  Theatre Royal     map   Comedy  •  Improv  •  Theatre  •  Workshop(s) Address:   Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone:  Box office: 01962 840440 Event:  Masterclass: Physical Theatre Comedy & Improv Workshop (Darryl J Carrington) - 6.30pm - A practical, non-verbal session led by clown and comedian Darryl J Carrington. The focus is on using the body to communicate clearly and find comedy without relying on words. Participants will work with simple props and everyday objects, learning how small physical choices, timing, and attention can turn ordinary moments into something funny and engaging. A key part of the workshop is how to invite the audience into the play — noticing consent, responding honestly, and building connection with care rather than forcing interaction. Through straightforward exercises and improvisation, performers develop confidence, awareness, and a stronger sense of play, making work that feels open, human, and genuinely connected to the people watching.

Saturday 24 October 2026 Venue:  Winchester Cathedral     map   Live music  •  Choir  •  Workshop(s) Address:   Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9LS Telephone:  01962 857275 (box office) Event:  The Gospel Experience - 7.30pm - The Gospel Experience is an evening where an entire audience learns a song together in three-part harmony, rehearses it, and performs it live. Along the way, Tim shares the history behind Gospel music: where it came from, what it carries, and why it matters. The teaching is warm, clear, and genuinely fun. You don’t have to read music and nobody is left behind. This is a great night out if you want to have a proper sing with your friends. You don’t have to be a confident singer, and everyone is welcome. It works equally well for choirs looking for something a bit different, or for churchgoers who want to experience Winchester Cathedral in a fresh way. There is a 30-minute interval built in, which is the perfect opportunity to get a drink, get to know the people around you, and enjoy being somewhere beautiful. By the end of the evening, you will have achieved something you will be proud of. People consistently leave these events surprised: by the music, by the history, and by the community connection.
