Party, party, party!...

Jericho House along with dancers from the Royal Ballet, the American choregrapher Austin McCormick and his assistant Laura Careless of Company XIV invite one and all to Wilton's Music Hall for a Masque Ball!

The evening is to raise money for the theatre company Jericho House and to provide a platform to explore the dynamics between dance and drama.  The idea is to re-create as closely as is entertainingly possible the Masque Ball of the 17th century.

Guests will enjoy a Baroque inspired feast followed by a performance that weaves through their tables. It's an incredible opportunity to be up close and personal with the artists. There will also be live music on period instruments.

Tickets £175 / Tables £1,800 (12 pax)

Monday, Monday....

It's a beautiful Monday morning here on Golborne Road today. Spring is in the air and the street is full of wonderful trinkets and unusual furniture. The perfect day for a wander down the Golborne Road...

Happy Valentines!!...

We are very happy to be selling some beautiful handmade cards by women in Nicaragua this week. We have some sweet Valentine's cards but they could be used for any special occasion. The women who makes these cards are living on one of Latin America's largest rubbish dumps, La Chureca. All the cards are made by recycling waste paper by hand with The Earth Education Project.

The women are learning skills to build their own businesses in their community. We hope that by purchasing one of these cards you will be empowering women in one of the world's poorest countries to develop new skills and in turn build a future and lift their families out of poverty.

And if the amazing dancers inspire you to move take a look at the Everybody Ballet post below.

Everybody Ballet!...

A very good friend of Golborne Place, the beautiful Isabel McMeekan, has been passing on her ballet knowledge to the people of W10 and giving those who thought they could never dance the spirit and ability to enjoy movement and improve mind and body.

Everybody Ballet provides ballet classes for anyone and everyone, no previous training is necessary, just the enthusiasm to do something different.

Isabel creates carefully structured classes drawing upon elements of classical ballet combined with specific stretching and core strengthening work, leaving the body and mind feeling worked, invigorated and extended.

 “Everybody Ballet has transformed my life and is in the process 

of transforming my body! Isabel’s teaching makes the classes fun and

 inspirational. No one should be nervous about starting ballet at 

any age or shape….pure and simple.”    Clare Beresford
