Step into the springtime woods and be part of one of nature's greatest enchantments, a sublime creative connection between some of the greatest musicians and the immortal song of the Nightingale.
Over eight weeks each spring, Singing with Nightingales host over thirty events that guide you on an unforgettable journey into nature, culminating in a performance in complete darkness with a wild Nightingale. This will be a specially adapted evening, tailored to be particularly accessible for people living with chronic pain. We've carefully designed the experience with your comfort and wellbeing in mind, including additional rest breaks, seating, and a more gentle pace throughout.
Many people find these events deeply moving and restorative. This special evening is part of research exploring how connecting with nature can shape the lived experience of chronic pain. By attending the event, you'll be taking part in this research study, which includes completing questionnaires and follow-up conversations. Your insights could help others in the future.
