THERE is lots going on at the National Trust at Tyntesfield this summer, starting with a 'Joy of Singing' Workshop with Jules, which takes place on June 27.

This is a chance to discover the joy of group singing with this fun, informal workshop, learning simple but uplifting harmony songs in the beautiful

setting of the Orangery. No previous music or singing experience necessary. All levels and ages welcome - just bring your voice and give it a go!

The popular bat walks continue on 24 June (then again on July 29 and August 26). Ranger Darren hosts an evening walk around the Tyntesfield estate, discovering the haunts of our secret residents - the bats. Get your comfortable boots on and pop a torch in your bag. The evening will include a hot drink and cookie.

Booking is essential for all Tyntesfield events and charges do apply. For full details and more events visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk/tyntesfield or to book tickets call 0844 2491895
