Far in a Western Brookland

With rue my heart is laden

The centre has a variety of weekend and one day courses on subjects such as healing, gardening, local history , permaculture and singing. Polly's singing workshops include harmony singing and Celtic singing and those for the "really scared" who have been told they really can't sing. Polly also runs a community choir based at the centre called Larks.Bulgarian singer,Kalinka Vulcheva regularly runs workshops at Oak Barn and in August Sue Harris and Polly run a Singing Camp.For more details of the courses and photos of the centre link to http://www.oak-barn.co.uk/
