Join us for FestiVOLE - Our Water Vole Release Celebration Event with Amy-Jane Beer

In August of 2022, years of hard work with the help of hundreds of volunteers came to fruition with the release of 101 voles back onto our local river, the Hogsmill! On Saturday the 25th of February we will be celebrating this landmark achievement and the river more broadly at the CornherHOUSE Theatre.

This celebratory event will feature a talk from Dr Amy-Jane Beer, a biologist, nature writer and campaigner. She is the author of over 30 books on natural history, a Country Diarist for The Guardian, a columnist for British Wildlife and a regular contributor to BBC Wildlife and Countryfile magazines, among others. Her recent book, The Flow, a beautiful and fascinating book that explores the UK’s rivers, includes a trip to the Hogsmill and features our water vole project!

The event will also premier a short film about the Hogsmill Water Vole project, directed and filmed by aspiring wildlife filmmaker Molly McNamara-Langton. There will also be a short talk about water voles by Elliot Newton and Ben Stockwell.

This family-friendly event will include Water Vole-themed crafted-making activities for children and a book signing session with Amy where you can purchase her book at a discounted price that will also contribute to the water vole project.

Suggested ages: 7+

Epsom Choral Society presents Visions of Eternity – an evening of contemplative music from the 1850s to the modern day.

In a programme of radiant works, Visions of Eternity will explore the different ways in which composers depict the idea of eternity, tracing the celestial journey towards the unknown from 'chariots of clouds' and 'flaming fires' in Jonathan Dove's dramatic Bless the Lord O my Soul to the hushed simplicity of Brahms’ Geistliches Lied.

The programme also features an ethereal setting of the Son of God Mass by James Whitbourn for choir, saxophone and organ, Arvo Pärt's minimalist setting of the Salve Regina text and John Tavener's moving response to the death of a friend's father in Svyati for choir and solo cello.

A concert of uplifting music to divert and delight our audience.

Epsom Jazz Club completes its Spring season on Tuesday 21st March when it welcomes multi-award winning young saxophonist and composer Emma Rawicz to The Oaks Room.
