Film Night – Friday January 4th

Posted in Catering 4 Parwich, Events, Films, Memorial hall on Friday December 28, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Hailed as one of the best films of the millennium, this silent movie, filmed in black & white, has taken the film world by storm.

It’s the late 1920s in Hollywood and handsome George Valentin is a silent movie idol, THE ARTIST. During the premiere of his latest film, Valentin meets Peppy Miller, a star-struck extra and aspiring actress. The two are attracted to each other and Peppy is given a small dancing role in his next picture. As their romance progresses, Valentin’s producer has to cope with a love-struck star who is distracted on the set, Peppy’s career begins to take off, and Valentin fears that a new fad in the movie business – talkies – will ruin him.

“Parwich: A Sense Of Place” – art exhibition this weekend

Posted in Arts, Events, Memorial hall on Monday November 12, 2012| Leave a Comment »

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 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.

This lovely romantic film, based on the book Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, tells of a visionary sheik who has a big dream — to bring salmon fishing to the desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative to turn his dream into reality. The Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary latches on for its potential as a ‘good will’ story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

Evie’s Artistic Afternoons

Posted in Arts, Events, Memorial hall on Wednesday October 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

Paul B writes:

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.

The new Memorial Hall Sculpture

Posted in Arts, Memorial hall on Tuesday September 25, 2012| Leave a Comment »

One purpose of Art is to get people talking, and presumably Community Art is to get communities talking.  Well here are some photographic teasers of the new Memorial Hall Sculpture.  To find out more, come along to the unveiling on Sunday.

The children of Parwich Primary School did drawings of the sort of sculpture they might like to see created for the Memorial Hall, which will be exhibited in the Hall on Sunday afternoon.  Some of their ideas were incorporated into the final piece.  At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, what sort of community sculpture would you like to see installed where? Remember this is a public forum! Peter T.

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.
