Hayfield Singers will celebrate their 25th anniversary with a performance of Handel’s ‘Messiah’, the greatest piece of choral music in the English language, according to the choir’s musical director Simon Mercer.
The performance will take place at St Matthews Church, Hayfield on Sunday 29th April at 7.30pm.
With us now enjoying warmer weather and lighter evenings, now is as good a time as any to get outdoors and explore Dronfield’s many walking routes, including the Dronfield Rotary Walk - which is maintained by a team of volunteers at the Barn.

Derby Book Festival is challenging children and adults to write a story in up to fifty words on the subject of ‘Home’ for its 2020 Flash Fiction Writing Competition launched today (24 April). The winning stories will be printed on a set of bookmarks this summer and will be distributed across Derby and Derbyshire to promote Derby Book Festival.
Although the office is closed, a few staff are still working on much reduced hours to keep the Festival alive and we have been overwhelmed by your support during this challenging time. Thank you to everyone who is so generously supporting our efforts to bring back the Festival in 2021. Your kind words and donations have lifted our spirits immensely.
If you would like some help with your writing for adults bestselling author Sophie Draper is available for some one-to-one sessions on 13th June online or by telephone.
