Join us in Sidholme’s grand Music Room with its seven Osler glass chandeliers and recently restored Gothic-style Gray & Davison organ. Both are features of historical importance and during this event we celebrate the organ’s recent restoration with special musical performances in the evenings.
Friends of Sidholme Music Room
In 2013 a group of local volunteers came together to raise money to restore Sidholme’s 1855 Gray & Davison Organ, originally commissioned by the 6th Earl of Buckinghamshire. Following their success the committee have undertaken remedial work on the 1905 model B Bechstein grand piano, allowing the organ and piano to once again be played in tandem. The group is now focusing on the seven Osler glass chandeliers, installed in 1848 and originally gas fuelled, which are in urgent need of restoration to regain the original overhead lighting brilliance and the ambience of this magnificent room.
For more information of the events that the committee arrange and to support their projects, go to the Friends Of Sidholme Music Room Website

Though the dances chosen reflect the abilities of the group, the aim is always to experience the joy of dancing with others and to create a sense of well-being and community. Whatever your age or ability you can circle dance! Each dance is taught, so no experience or partner is necessary.

As the days wane, the nights close in and the trees don their vibrant hues, a chill creeps into the air. Leaves take to the air in an elegant dance, pirouetting around the tree trunks to their own orchestral rustling; not the bite of wintry blusters, but just a nip to let us know a new season is at hand. Welcome it with our ‘Music in Autumn’ break, with local talents entertaining you in our magnificent Music Room on select evenings and enjoy the vibrant colours on offer during the day in and around Sidmouth.

There’s nothing that quite matches the sound of a traditional brass band, and some of the best can be found here in the old mining community of the Royal Forest of Dean. Come and enjoy the build-up to Christmas with us at Lindors on a holiday filled with the ‘Sound of Brass’. Enjoy some great musical entertainment in our country hotel, and join us as we attend the annual Christmas concert of the Championship Section Lydbrook band.
There is nothing like the sound of a brass band, particularly in the build-up to Christmas. The Forest of Dean, an old mining community, has some of the best: this short break at Lindors will consist of musical entertainment within the hotel, as well as an evening out to enjoy the performance of a Championship section band in all its bombastic glory. Enjoy an afternoon tea on arrival, and an optional programme of morning and evening devotions throughout your stay. At this time, the hotel will be decorated in all its Christmas finery, the fire will be lit, and there will be gifts available to purchase in our small giftshop. Why not treat yourselves to a special getaway before the Christmas rush really gets going?
