Rambling On

Rambling On

Rambling On:

The Story of Stories

Drive with extra caution as you commute to work during Festival week – you may happen to bump into Mike Bettison and Gary ‘Gacko’ Bridgens, two seasoned vagabond showmen Rambling On.

The unconventional duo will be traversing the valley, with Dolly the cart, delivering impromptu roadside performances before a grand show each evening.

Enjoy the specially commissioned Story of Stories in village halls, pubs and schools from Upperthong to Holmfirth, exploring the history and evolution of the ancient art of storytelling, from prehistoric cave paintings to the modern wonders of the internet.

Follow their adventures on Facebook and Twitter as they collect material for their evening shows from passers-by; cabaret, comedy and mayhem is guaranteed, presuming they don’t get lost, hospitalised, abducted or arrested on the way.

Suitable for all ages – duration 90 minutes

Phoenix Karate Association - Wednesday evenings from 6pm

 

Karate is a modern Japanese martial art that developed in the early twentieth century and is based on traditional Okinawan unarmed combat techniques.

Karate involves the use of punching, striking, kicking, and blocking to ward off an opponent and to counterattack.

Phoenix workouts consist of a good mixture of cardiovascular endurance, strength training and flexibility exercises that are designed to benefit the whole body.

Members of the Phoenix Karate Association regularly take part in events at local level, nationally and internationally.
However, all ages and abilities are catered for so why not come and have a look.

Wednesday 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Juniors)
Wednesday 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM (Seniors)
