18th December - The Live Nativity!

Sunday saw Wokingham gathering in the Market Place at 3pm to see donkeys (supplied by JAC) and make some crafts amoung other activities before processing on mass to Howard Palmer Gardens for the Live Nativity.

Howard Palmer Gardens saw almost 500 people young and old enjoy a performance of the Nativity story.

BottleTop is a community of people from all backgrounds and ages. They are passionate about telling stories and building relationships. Since September they've worked with around 100 members of the local community to make this event possible, from churches, schools, choirs, shops, the Salvation Army and craft groups. So many people have worked tirelessly to make today possible and for them to be able to tell what we believe is most exciting, inspiring and hope filled story ever told.  

With a story influenced through an exploration of the senses it was fitting that Bottletop brought Kim an adept of British Sign Language on to sign the whole performance.

4th December - Bottletop at Local Barber Shop



On Friday 4th December we were joined by Bottletop Theatre Community for a theatre piece at the Local Barber Shop. 

Using theatre, BottleTop explored the traditional Christmas narrative and modern day stories. "Where ever I’ve laid my head" is a piece on homelessness, refugees and the Christmas story.

Wokingham Paper did a piece on this one so do check them out as they are doing a grand job following the Calendar and so far have not missed one yet.


If you missed it you will be pleased that there is an opportunity to see it again.
An extended version will be performed at the Salvation Army Hall on Sturges Road, Thursday, December 17 from 4.30pm. Afterwards there will be refreshments. 
 
Tonight at 6:15pm we will be at Wokingham Methodist Church for St Crispin’s School Chamber Choir. See you there.
