LinMM Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It’s a gorgeous area that Yeo Valley bit we drove all around that area last year. Im sure the Ballet will be gorgeous as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Kent Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Just to add I’m going on Sunday 18 th 3 pm if any other balletcoforum-ers want to meet up ? In a socially dist -danced kind of way ….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I also asked about seating … as at £90 for tickets (including booking fee) I’d want a decent sightline. Not entirely convinced by this answer 🤔 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HI Fiona, Many thanks for your contact, and interest in attending our ballet event, we are very excited! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Seating will be allocated on arrival – numbered tickets will be handed out, and chairs will be numbered accordingly. Stage is raised 2ft. Seating is on a very slight gradient down to the stage. We are keeping audience numbers relatively low, and we anticipate no more than 20 rows. Hope that helps, and we can look forward to welcoming you to the garden in July. With Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbfisher Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Fiona, how did you make contact? I sent an email and a message on their website on 28 June and have also left phone message - no luck so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that ‘events’ is a part-time role. Edited July 1, 2021 by FionaE Clarification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have communicated with them too because their website doesn't make it clear where Yeo Valley is and provides no information about public transport access etc. I received a reply 4 days later which was unhelpful - for example, the very occasional bus from Bristol takes around 90 minutes to reach Yeo Valley and that kind of information should either be available online or provided on request (or probably advised against!!!!). Although I obviously cannot attend the performance, I have interacted some more with the Events contact at Yeo Valley (yes - very part-time) with a view to them improving their website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbfisher Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thank you Fiona and Cabybara - obviously after only four days I should not be upset about not having received a response yet ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Kent Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I agree that the Yeo website doesn’t make it clear where the event is taking place! I did put the full address of Holt Farm in my initial post above. I trust it is correct, however if any one of you who has commented above should speak to an admin please can you confirm . I imagine that car/ taxi etc will be the only way https://www.yeovalley.co.uk/come-and-visit-us/dance-in-somerset/ Website: Yeo Valley Organic Garden Telephone: 01761 258155 E-Mail: visit@yeovalleyfarms.co.uk ADDRESS Street: Holt Farm, Bath Road Postcode: BS40 7SQ City: Blagdon County: Somerset Country: United Kingdom .

JennyTaylor Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've booked. I have no idea where I am going, but I'm sure I will work it out. Still feeling starved of live ballet so can't pass up this chance. Gary Avis being involved is perfectly good for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRB released footage of a studio rehearsal of the Rose Adagio a couple of years ago where only 2 Princes were on hand - one being Chi Cao and I think the other was Iain Mackay. So not impossible and maybe fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Fantastic programme that we’ve heard of so far. Daichi performing Rhapsody. Looks like Alexander Campbell is doing a solo from Dances at a Gathering. Fully expecting to melt while watching .. 3pm start on a hot summer’s day! 🥵 now … how to get a seat with decent sight line? 🤔 (I’m going on Sunday) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks my idea of a nightmare, sitting in direct sunshine at this time of year, staring at the back of someone’s head (they’re bound to have a big floppy hat on 👒) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
