A full timetable of sessions will be sent to ticket holders ahead of the event. You will also receive a brochure outlining everything on offer upon arrival.

We're very excited to be joined on Saturday evening by musician Hannah Woof!

Hannah has been gigging around her home county of Warwickshire for over a decade now, and singing for a lot longer than that; performing 60’s and 70’s classics to care home residents alongside her grandparents, as a kid.

Compare that to today, where she is performing sell-out shows alongside some of the greats such as Mark Morris of the Bluetones, and writing and co-performing songs used in ITV’s Love Island, as well as gaining recognition from Huw Stephens of BBC Radio 1.

Hannah was diagnosed with suspected Alopecia Areata in July 2022, after all of the biopsies and investigations this was confirmed in early October. She bit the bullet and shaved her head on the 11th of October and hasn’t looked back since. She hopes to use her music and social media accounts to raise awareness, and offer support to those who are going through similar.

Join us on Saturday evening to hear Hannah perform! 

Sunday 5th March 2023, Daytime (9:45-12:00)
