The acclaimed wildlife artist Esther Tyson is staging an exhibition of recent work in our stunning modern Memorial Hall. Esther lives in Parwich, and the exhibition presents an opportunity for the local community to see her work, as well as serious collectors of wildlife art.
Esther studied at Carlisle College of Art and the prestigious Royal College of Art. She has exhibited in galleries in London and all over the country. She has also received many accolades and awards for her work.
Esther is renowned for work that reflects her intense passion for lengthy study of wild life in its natural habitat. The work she produces evokes a powerful image of the very essence that she experiences in her observations. The exhibition will feature a wide variety of her work, from her local Derbyshire countryside to the mountains of Nepal and recent underwater studies in Dorset.
The exhibition takes place in Parwich Memorial Hall on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th November 2012, from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome!

Come on, let’s have you… it’s time to get your sticky-back plastic & Fairy Liquid bottles at the ready and get creative at Evie’s artistic afternoons at the Memorial hall from 3.30pm to 5.30pm on Thursday afternoons…
…or if you’d just like some company and a chinwag with a cuppa and bickies, come along and see whats cracking off.
The first one was enjoyed by all who attended. A contribution towards the hire charges is £3.00-ish, but will get less as more people attend.
You might discover a hidden talent, who knows? Be there or be square.

Comedy night in Ashbourne: this Thursday
Posted in Events, Out & About on Tuesday October 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »
The Chimes Cafe in Ashbourne has started running regular stand-up comedy nights, and the next show takes place this Thursday (October 4th) at 8pm. Admittance is £6, and you are encouraged to come earlier and book a pre-show meal.
Thursday’s headliner is Chris Stokes, whose debut show won an award at this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival. Chris has supported Milton Jones on tour, and The Scotsman has described him as “hilarious”.
Also appearing:
- Scott Bennett, “one of the Midlands’ brightest rising stars”, who won Comedy Cellar Best New Act 2011 and Old Speckled Hen Comedian Of the Year 2010.
- James Hately, “a weird and wonderful performer with a spindly ‘pythonesque’ figure and a dazzling imagination”, who “makes use of surreal logic and imagery to bring a magical quality to the everyday.”
- Rob Kemp, “a rising star from Wolverhampton.”
- Bruce Edhouse, “who may well be talking about aubergines… “
The evening is compered by Alan Seaman, who has won praise from Isy Suttie, of Channel 4’s Peep Show: “Alan always makes sure there’s a wide variety of acts and a warm and friendly atmosphere where audiences get value for money. They are always a joy to do.”
Chimes Cafe is at 48 St John Street Ashbourne, DE6 1GH.
Telephone 01335 300220, or reserve via shipoffoolscomedy@yahoo.co.uk (email) / 079 414 71648 (text).

The DRCS (Derwent Rural Counselling Service) Annual Shopping Fair takes place this week at the Maynard, Grindleford, on the evening of Wednesday 3rd October (6pm-8pm, with sparkling wine and canapés) and all day on Thursday 4th October (10am-4pm)
Parwich’s Marion F-S has a close involvement with this local, Bakewell-based charity. Marion says:
“I’m not allowed to mention the ‘C’ word yet, but it is a great opportunity to stock up with fun, unusual and reasonably priced personal gifts for family and friends, or even for oneself!”
“Some favourite stalls will be back, and lots of exciting new ones. There will also be the usual extremely popular homemade cakes and goodies stall…!”
If anyone wants to be sure of a ticket for the Wednesday evening event, they can call Marion on 519.

A new Sculpture for Parwich
Posted in 2012, Arts, Events, Memorial hall, People, Posts of Note on Tuesday September 18, 2012| 1 Comment »
Parwich Memorial Hall has commissioned a sculpture by local artist blacksmith Hayley Powell. Everyone will know her cuckoo by the Cuckoo Gate in Monsdale Lane (if not go and have a look). Here is a reminder of the unveiling of this in 2006 at a village picnic, that was very well attended despite a clash with the Wimbledon Men’s Final:
Hayley made the cuckoo sculpture when still an A-level student at QEGS; she has since then taken her degree and is now working full-time as an artist and blacksmith (trading as Forever Forged based at Claymills Victorian Forge near Burton on Trent).
Here are some more recent photos of Hayley and her work.
