Norden Farm celebrates 25 years with community focus

Norden Farm Centre for the Arts is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a special event, The Great Big Community Show.

The celebratory evening will feature performances from local groups, including the Norden Farm Daytime Choir, Maidenhead Drama Guild, Norden Farm Evening Choir, Maidenhead Concert Band, Norden Farm Bring Baby Choir, Maidenhead Operatic Society, and its Salsa Group.

The event will be hosted by Jeff Lloyd of The Vinyl Frontier fame.

Jane Corry, the arts centre’s Chief Executive and Artistic Director, says: “Community is at the heart of everything we do. We are thrilled to showcase local talent as the finale to this week of celebrations for our 25th anniversary.”
