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!
Here we go again with the highly anticipated arrival of all things Christmassy and jolly,
From the tree to the tinsel, the carols and the cake and the must have mistletoe and holly!
The 1st of December heralds the occasion of Chipping Sodbury Christmas Sunday with plenty to see,
From a bouncy snow globe and the chance to visit Santa himself with a ‘hello’ and a whoopee!
There will be the Santa Float, live Donkeys, funfair rides, and Christmas entertainment galore
To get everyone in the festive mood with raffle prizes up for grabs, seasonal shopping and so much more!
St John’s Church will also be open with their wonderful crib festival, and Hatherell’s yard promises snow
Plus photos on a giant inflatable sleigh, with some mulled wine to warm you up and make you glow!
So why elbow your way round a manic mall when you can find everything you need with the stalls on display
With vintage dealers, creative designers, decorations and unique gifts to ensure a magical Christmas day!
Elf Jr is being performed at the Town Hall by the Shooting Stars plus a trombone quartet that showcases
The versatility of the instrument by performing works of all genres, and to show that they are going places!
So now it is time to wish you all a joyous and positive 2025 filled with peace, love, health and success
And may your many dreams and aspirations come true along with blessings, prosperity and happiness!
This is the month we can look forward to Nature’s vibrant end of year firework display,
With the hedges and woods ablaze with a kaleidoscope of colour from shades of gold to a silvery grey.
Low hanging mists appear as well as bright crips mornings with stunning clear skies,
And winter is gently peering round the corner and creating an absolute feast for the eyes!
At Badminton House a whisky tasting and a festive cookery workshop take place to indulge and hearten,
And in Chipping Sodbury 9-5 The Musical is performed with music and lyrics by the icon that is Dolly Parton!
We also have Remembrance Sunday and Chipping Sodbury will show its respects to those who paid
The ultimate sacrifice in two world wars by gathering at the town’s war memorial for a service and parade.
The Sodbury Slog makes its annual return with runners tackling the mud, and to be thrown and hurled,
And as we get nearer to a certain ‘C’ word the Crib Festival is back with a theme of ‘Joy to the World’.
So let’s get ready to see some amazing Bonfire Night fireworks that will literally light up the sky,
From the more sedate sparklers and catherine wheels to the rockets that sprinkle their magic up high!
The Moda House, 1 High Street, Chipping Sodbury, Bristol. BS37 6BA.
