SUMMARY:Rachel Wright demonstrations in the Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In the lead-up to The Stitched Garden exhibition in September\, Rachel Wright will be demonstrating her work-in-progress. \nTime: 11:00am-4:00pm \nDates: Last Thursday of every month – Jan 29th\, Feb 26th\, Mar 26th\, Apr 30th\, May 28th\, Jun 25th\, Jul 30th & Aug 27th \nVenue: The Gallery (free to enter\, just turn left after entering the main garden shop) \nPrice: FREE \nWorking on a domestic sewing machine\, with carefully chosen pieces of cloth and endless colours of thread\, Rachel will translate the gardens and plants here at Waterperry into her beautiful machine-embroidered textile art pieces. \nThe most distinctive aspect of her embroideries is the expressive skies\, evoking perpetual movement and fluidity\, the restless elements on their never-ending journey. She creates the essence of both place and time with attention to detail being given in both the foreground and scenic backdrop throughout the seasons. \nMeet Rachel in the gallery and watch her whilst she paints in stitch and brings her work to life.

SUMMARY:Duo Destino – Flamenco Fusion
DESCRIPTION:Date: 4th July 2026 \nVenue: Waterperry Amphitheatre \nTime: 5:30-7:30pm \nVirtuoso guitarists Ben Bruant and Will Cashel – together known as Duo Destino – bring their exhilarating blend of flamenco passion and familiar melodies reimagined in surprising ways to Waterperry Gardens for the very first time. \nSince meeting at the Royal Academy of Music in London in 2011\, Ben (from Le Havre\, trained at the Conservatoire National de Paris) and Will (from Bath\, a Purcell School scholar and graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music) have captivated audiences across Europe with dazzling fingerwork\, rhythmic percussive techniques\, and infectious energy. \nWith seven albums\, two EPs\, and their acclaimed original release Destino (2023) followed by Destino – Live (2024)\, the duo have performed for royalty\, at Glastonbury\, the Liverpool Philharmonic\, the Edinburgh Fringe\, Goodwood\, and even the F1 Grand Prix. Their music has been featured on BBC Radio 2\, Scala Radio\, and they are the resident band on Susannah Constantine’s My Wardrobe Malfunction podcast. \nDuring the pandemic\, Duo Destino won national recognition with their heartfelt “Gigs in Your Garden” – 70 free concerts performed for NHS and frontline workers\, celebrated on BBC Breakfast\, Sky News\, and in the national press. \nNow\, by popular demand\, they bring their Flamenco Fusion to Waterperry Gardens. Expect bold\, Latin‑inspired compositions alongside inventive arrangements of a wide‑ranging repertoire — from classical masters like Vivaldi\, to pop and rock icons such as Daft Punk and Dire Straits\, and timeless favourites from the Rolling Stones and The Gypsy Kings. Their sound is so rich and layered\, you’ll swear there are more than two musicians on stage. \nDon’t miss this unforgettable evening of music\, passion\, and artistry. \nOnce seen\, never forgotten. \nBook Here
