Flutes at the Barns is delighted to be returning to a favourite venue among participants, Cruck'd Barn, in Derbyshire for October 2019. Musical activities - including longer individual lessons for all - take place in each of the cosily-named cottages; flute choir and classes will resound in the eaves of Cruck'd Barn and Bats' Belfry, before settling down to chamber music, workshops and performances. To reinvigorate energy levels, there are inspiring walks from the door, or lots of comfy corners to enjoy a cuppa and a chat; if you prefer to retreat to individual accommodation… Read more>>

After several successful previous visits, FATB is looking forward to a return visit to The Crewe and Harpur in the quaint Derbyshire village of Longnor in early 2020. Occupying our own pub and former hotel provides big spaces for flute choir rehearsals, classes, workshops and performances as well as top quality individual accommodation; the three innkeepers cottages (newly renovated in 2018) add further cosy spots to relax and make music in chamber groups. As ever, our private chef will be on hand to treat us all, leaving the focus firmly on enjoyment… Read more>>

Lapwing Barns is FATB's most exclusive venue, providing the opportunity for strictly no more than eight participants to enjoy longer individual lessons and increased contact with the tutors during the week, as well as enjoying the usual workshops, rehearsals and classes with the other participants of Flutes at the Barns. A particularly picturesque and removed spot, Lapwing Barns is a peaceful retreat to relax with a cup of tea in between music-making sessions, perhaps to admire the unspoilt views before retiring to tranquil, luxurious individual accommodation. Our chef will be on site to ensure we are well-fed with good quality, local… Read more>>

Returning to The Green Man brings back happy memories of the 50th Flutes at the Barns residential course - held here in 2018 - and the summer of 2020 is sure to bring its own musical celebrations. With a maximum of nine places available, as well as enjoying the varied musical sessions and rehearsals you would expect from FATB, participants can look forward to a 45-minute individual flute lesson, private rehearsals with the staff accompanist and the exclusive numbers allow for increased tutor-time overall. The restful breaks between satisfying musical sessions can be taken in any number of comfy spaces throughout our very own pub, and are likely to prove as sociable as mealtimes (when our private chef creates… Read more>>
