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.

Please click the flyer to view the full invitation.

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.

Countryside lover Isabella Stone is looking forward to spending a day in one of the Peak District’s most attractive gardens on 8 September.

Isabella Stone

Isabella lives in Matlock and is Chair of local charity Friends of the Peak District. She is a keen gardener, and has organised an exclusive event at the grounds of the Grade II Hall in Parwich.

“The gardens at Parwich Hall are absolutely delightful at any time of the year, and we’re hoping for a sunny September day so that people can really enjoy the late roses and vegetable garden in its full glory. There are some really fine views of the countryside from the terraces,” she said.

“Our charity is committed to looking after the amazing landscapes of the Peak District. I love looking around fabulous gardens, so when the chance to combine my two passions came up, I grabbed it! We are so grateful to Robert and Alice Shields for opening Parwich Hall gardens to us.”

“We do hope that people will join us to enjoy some refreshments and get an insiders’ peek into this beautiful place, while at the same time supporting a really worthwhile local cause,” she added.

  • Parwich Hall Open Garden: 11am – 4pm on Saturday 8 September at Parwich Hall, Parwich DE6 1QD.
  • Tickets are available on the day and cost £4 for adults (three people for £10), £2 for under 16s, and free for under 5s.
  • Tea, coffee and cakes will be on sale.
  • All funds raised will go to Friends of the Peak District’s work protecting Peak District landscapes.
