Residentials

It’s the highlight of the Cobweb year! You can expect a mix of music, leaders and special guests.

On the Saturday evening, we enjoy cocktails and a concert party. The Sunday Morning Supplement may be something a little different, such as playing different instruments or a conducting workshop. People still find time to eat, socialise and squeeze in the odd bit of ensemble playing.

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.

Booking is now open here. If you have any queries, please contact Christine Ball: christine.ball1208@live.co.uk or telephone 07905684537

Foreign Trips

The orchestra has travelled to Bavaria, Hungary, Spain and Italy.

We had a fabulous week in August 2024 at Il Grande Prato  in the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

Thanks to Sue Baker for organising the trip, Patrick Burnett for conducting, and Ruth Tanner for organising all of the music from the Cobweb library.

Our next trip will be Sunday 16th – Sunday 23rd August 2026. You can find out all about the trip on two information sheets here and here, one giving a little detail of where we stay and what we get up to during the week and the other has the costs. The size of the orchestra is limited due to the rehearsal space and therefore we aim to have as balanced an orchestra as possible. There is still room for strings, especially violas and cellos. The woodwind and brass sections are full at present but if you are interested in joining us then please email in case we have someone drop out.
