Come and join therapeutic yoga teacher Claire Whalley of the Yoga for Life Project for some breathwork, gentle yoga and deep relaxation. Sessions will take place in between speaker events in the churchyard gardens on the grass: Friday at 3:30; Saturday at 11:15 and 3:15. Claire will weave poetry and readings through the practice to leave you feeling inspired and restored. Find out more about Claire's work and retreats at www.theyogaforlifeproject.co.uk/retreats

Local resident Bill Tuck is a passionate player of early musical instruments with a talent for enthusing others.  Bill and friends will herald events in church with a fanfare on ‘real’ trumpets.

Bill is a pipe and tabor player, and enthusiastic performer upon the sackbut (early trombone). His principal interest is creating eighteenth century style pantomimes.

Look out for early music and dance concerts in St Andrew's throughout the year!

Stuck for a new book to read? Forget online algorithms, come and give your book preferences to our resident book doctor and host of the Book Club Review podcast, Kate Slotover. Kate and her book-loving friends will happily type out suggestions based on what you like to read. Prepare to be inspired!

11.20 - 11.40 am Historic trumpets demonstration, with Bill Tuck

1.20 - 1.40pm Thornhill Square: its architecture and meaning, with Sir Philip Rutnam

3.20 - 3.40pm Why Marx was right (almost) about religion, with Revd Dr Sally Mann

In between author events or if you have nothing planned, come and listen to the classic novel by George and Weedon Grossmith, chronicling the daily lives of the Pooter family in late-nineteenth-century Holloway (just up the road from Barnsbury!) Our team of enthusiastic 'Nobodys' will be reading aloud in the sylvan setting of Barnsbury Wood, just around the corner from Thornhill Square.

Bring your tea, coffee or sandwiches and listen to the trials and tribulations of the Pooters amid the sprightly sound of spring birds. With chilled, live jazz interludes.
