Autumn Residential

Saturday 7 November, 10 a.m. – Sunday 8 November 2026, 5 p.m.
Emmaus Youth Village, Pemberton Rd, Allensford, Consett, Co. Durham DH8 9BA

Previous Autumn residentials have been at Ridley Hall and Shepherd’s Dene. We went to Emmaus for the first time in November 2024.

The weekend has the usual mix of mostly full orchestral sessions with time for some ensemble sessions in smaller groups, with some after-dinner entertainment on the Saturday evening, rounding off with the well-established ‘Symphony at Midnight’.

Spring Residential

Sedbergh School

It’s the highlight of the Cobweb year!

Accommodation at Sedbergh is in one of the boarding houses with plenty of single or shared rooms available. You can choose to be a resident with all meals provided or a non-resident with some or no meals.

You can expect a mix of music, leaders and special guests. The Sunday Morning Supplement may be something a little different, such as playing different instruments or a conducting workshop.

On the Saturday evening, we enjoy cocktails and a concert party.
