Residential Weekend in Edale
9th – 11th October 2026
“A very special and joyful weekend of song and great laughs”
ABOUT
Singing, walking, and eating… Bella looks forward to welcoming you for a weekend of merriment in her home village of Edale, in the beautiful Peak District!
This social singing weekend is for all levels and abilities, with some group walking to get us out into the stunning surroundings.
Based at the Peak Centre in the main village, we have a dawn choruses (optional!), group song learning, a Saturday night concert, and campfire sing-arounds! Nobody has to do any kind of performing (unless they want to), it’s all about that special joy of singing with other people.
It’s fully and deliciously catered by Bella’s favourite cook Ros Nield.
“Floated out of the big sing, troubles left behind. Bella was brilliant, made it all look so easy. So welcoming, felt part of a big happy family. Strong medicine.“

EDALE
Edale is a seven-mile long valley in the Peak District National Park. It’s made up of mud, gritstone, mist, sheep, a mountain, some hills, jagged rocky outcrops, and place names like Mad Woman’s Stones and Mam Tor. The main village is famously the start (or end) of the Pennine Way, a 268 mile trail to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland.
We have a general store, two cafe, two pubs, and an information centre. Edale railway station connects us to Manchester to Sheffield with regular trains.
