Also beer, and sometimes cake.
It’s a friendly sort of get-together, and you’re welcome to drop in, but if you think you’d like to speak to someone beforehand, please contact Gwen on 07878961646. We look forward to seeing you!
Drumming Night
FirstThursday of the month, 7.00pm- 10.00pm
Eyre Chapel, Newbold, Chesterfield. (Behind the Nags Head Pub.) Turn into the pub car park, go through the big gates at the end and the chapel is just along the short path.
Cost: £3 per evening session, which includes a hot drink and biscuits and also covers the hire of the chapel.
A monthly gathering of drummers and players of percussion instruments. Open to all, there’s no pressure to play straight away, plenty of varied percussion instruments to try out, including djembes, bhorans, singing bowls, rattles and tambourines.
There’s no formal instruction or leader, pieces develop organically and go on as long as the group plays, rhythms may change, players are welcome to drop out and join in as they please. Come and join us even if you think you have no natural rhythm, or if you just want to try it out, you don’t have to bring your own drum, you’re welcome to borrow one of ours 
Somewhere in the middle we stop for a coffee break and biscuits, then it’s back to uplifting beats, ever-changing tracks and lastly to a slow quiet piece with chanting to finish off. The evening is a great stress buster, allowing you to return home relaxed and focused until next time.
If you’d like to find out more, you’re welcome to e-mail us here at the site, drop Gwen a text on the number above or simply turn up and grab a drum
Asatru Study Group
Last Saturday of the month, 1pm-3pm
Chandlers Bar, St Marys Gate, Chesterfield. Just down from the Crooked Spire of St Mary’s Church.
Cost: free
A monthly group which gets together to discuss Norse literature. Non-tutor led and open to all. You don’t have to have any prior academic knowledge, or have attended any of the previous sessions, nor bring anything with you – handouts are provided containing the different translations of the texts we will study at each session. An informal discussion in which we discuss what the pieces mean to us, discussing different translations and which one (s) you prefer, together with related aspects of Norse cosmology, myth and values. Currently we are working our way through the Havamal, with ten verses of the poem being discussed every session. Translations are provided, so you don’t have to purchase any books or texts in order to come to the sessions.
If you have a Norse or viking interest, want to find out more or are just curious, please come along and meet us in a pub which serves rather excellent meals. If you prefer to find out more beforehand, you can e-mail amalasuntha through the ‘contact us’ e-mail on this site.
