This unassuming little castle near Corby has a surprising history.

A selection of your local poet, John Clare’s poems, that illustrate his style of writing, love of nature and important events in his life. All sung and played by the Beauvale Ensemble. They have been set to music by local composer, Dianne Oliver.

Our British Christmas is unique. Its customs and traditions date back into the mists of time, but they all developed for identifiable reasons.
