The starting pistol fires shortly for the Paris Olympics but here, closer to home, and in the town

We have our own French production of Les Misérables with those iconic songs to bring the curtain down!

The Sodbury Players are also on stage performing a brand-new comedy called ‘Get Your Greek On’,

And there is also a Whitney Houston tribute act with the opportunity for some singing and a danceathon!

The popular Sodbury Fest is back with beers, ciders, live music, local food vendors and a set from Badness

As they close the event with immense energy and excitement to celebrate the one and only Madness!

Nearby the Bristol Harbourside Festival takes place with 3 days of fun and festivities for everyone to enjoy,

And to soak up Bristol’s unique atmosphere, diverse communities and rich maritime history – ahoy!

So let’s hope for more sunshine to create some good vibes as summer is well and truly under way,

And why not come to Chipping Sodbury and The Moda House for a wee break and a marvellous stay!

A little hint at times that the long winter is nearly over as the days get longer and the clocks change,

And we can look forward to lighter evenings as the practise of advancing clocks alters the time and range.

In Chipping Sodbury we have one of the world’s leading guitar quartets performing, along with a Craft Fayre,

The return of comedian Ed Byrne and the UK’s top Carpenters Experience show with all their hits to share!

It is also the month to spoil loved ones on Mothering Sunday, and to flip and enjoy a pancake or two,

As both events have their own traditions and will be celebrated by many to both indulge and say thank you!

March is a month that can be either winter or spring with blustery and sunny spells as nature begins its story

With flowers beginning to bloom, and the tulips and daffodils appearing in all their magnificent glory!

It is also a month that carries strong symbolism when animals wake from hibernation to the transformation

Of new growth, alongside the spring-cleaning rituals that become a fixation of the whole nation!

So let’s just enjoy the taste of things to come and celebrate St Patricks Day with vibrant celebrations,

Plus the famous Red Nose Day encouraging people to have fun to raise money for various organisations!

February can often seem like a difficult month with us all getting fed up with gloomy mornings,

And driving to and from work in the dark accompanied by the constant ice and snow chaos warnings!

Financially it can be challenging after the festive period, and the bank balance may be alarmingly low

But we can also happily anticipate the first snowdrops pushing through the ground as they begin to grow!

There is still plenty of activities taking place nearby with a Scotch whisky tasting up at Badminton Estate

Along with the Bristol Ensemble showcasing the transition from winter to spring with music to celebrate.

Chipping Sodbury’s Secret Sunday Comedy Club is back one more plus the return of an 80’s spell

With huge hits from Duran Duran, Wham, Culture Club, Frankie goes to Hollywood and Soft Cell!

February is also the month of love and a chance to show affection through cards, chocolates and roses,

With even the opportunity of marriage if he or she gets down on one knee and romantically proposes!

So come to The Moda House for the new marmalade and see if the addition of chillies works for you,

But be sure to contact us directly to check the availability and price and book a stay for a night or two!

January is often the month when it is time to pay more attention to our health, wellness, goals and diet,

And to exercise by getting out in nature with long walks to blow the cobwebs away and enjoy the quiet.

After all the Christmas madness it is nice to concentrate on the year ahead and look forward to what may be

With hopefully no dramas or major incidents, and we can recharge and refocus, and be relatively carefree!

Despite this sometime bleak month, in Chipping Sodbury there is plenty going on to keep us busy

With the production of Aladdin featuring all the favourites from Wishee Washee to Widow Twankey!

You can also experience the magic of Phil Collins and Genesis with songs and a 10-piece live band,

Who will transport you back in time with hits such as Against all Odds and Easy Lover on the baby grand!

So let’s embrace this month of fresh beginnings with clear intentions and perspectives for the year ahead,

And look forward to new beginnings and new chapters and growth and ensure that positivity is widespread!
