A Fireside Funding Workshop: Arts Council England Demystified
A Fireside Funding Workshop: Arts Council England Demystified
Have an idea but not sure how to fund it? Join arts funding consultant and bid writer Lara Monro for an informal evening focused specifically on Arts Council England: how their funding programmes work, what they're looking for, and how to approach the application process with confidence.
This is a conversation, not a lecture. Bring your ideas, your projects and your questions. Lara will offer practical guidance on how to position your work, meet ACE's criteria and help you hone your ideas to make your applications as strong as they can be.
Whether you're applying for the first time or looking to strengthen an existing approach, this is a chance to get honest, expert advice in a relaxed setting.
Free to attend. Thursday 12 November, from 18:30 - 20:00. Vallis Farm, Frome.
Lara is an arts funding consultant, bid writer, creative strategist and access support worker with over a decade of experience across the UK arts and culture sector. Her online platform, Working With, has supported more than 500 creative practitioners to develop, position and fund their work. Collectively, her clients have raised more than £900,000 in public investment.
Lara has a particular specialism in access support, working alongside neurodivergent and disabled practitioners to remove the barriers that can make the funding application process feel inaccessible or overwhelming; raising £80,000 in public arts and culture grants for access clients since April 2026.
Alongside her consultancy work, Lara is Editor at Large (UK/Europe) for the LA-based arts publication Autre, and has worked with organisations including White Cube, The Dot Project and the Creative Mentor Network. She was recently awarded an Arts Council England DYCP grant to support her research into trauma, the criminal justice system and how creativity can be used to support those within in it.

Rest & Reset
Rest and Reset
Woman as we enter the womb of the wintering, let yourself be held in the most exquisite space.
Reclaim those parts of yourself you've buried in order to survive.
The woman who lies underneath the tired.
This day is offered as a reclamation of the self.
We all need spaces as women just to be, to feel, to come home to ourselves.
What we will do
Held on Friday 13th November at the beautiful Vallis Farm,.
10:30 we’ll start promptly with an opening circle around the dining table, with tea and introductions.
11:00 we have the incredible Natalia holding a breathwork session for 90minutes
11:30 –12:00 Integration with crystal bowl sound bath
12:00 - 13:00 Vallis Farm is providing lunch from their seasonal vegetable soup, artisan bread, refreshments and a sweet treat throughout the day.
Daniella will also have her archetype teas available to drink and purchase.
1pm-2:30pm Daniella will hold a womb journey, using the shruiti, the sacred sounds of the womb and drum, inviting women to journey into their own womb garden, clearing and purifying the pelvic bowl either with a yoni steam for those who want to or with visualisation.
14:30 - 14:45 integration
15:00 - 17:00 optional additional bolt-on swim and sauna for those who want to have more time for integration
The power of coming together as women and holding an intention for healing, clearing and reclaiming is amplified when we connect as one, to our hearts, our wombs and our soul. Inviting the truth of who we really are to come home, to take up space - this is how we reclaim her.
When a woman lights up, she inspires another to shine. Its Time. Join us

About the facilitators
Daniella Carrozza
Daniella is the founder of La Luna Devi and a guide in feminine embodiment, cyclical living, and sacred mothering. Her work weaves together earth-based ritual, womb wisdom, and the remembrance of the Divine Feminine.
Daniella has held space for women for over 20 years as a herbalist, massage therapist and shamanic womb massage therapist. Holding women's circles for the past 10years, she is devoted to helping women reconnect with their inner authority and intuitive knowing, and to restoring the lost threads of feminine initiation—particularly through rites of passage.
As a mother of four, Daniella brings a deeply lived understanding of the complexity, beauty, and responsibility of raising children in these times. Daniella has been holding circles for girls for the past 4 years and has been a multidisciplinary holistic practitioner for over 20 years. In La Luna Girls, she holds gentle, grounded, and sacred spaces for the next generation of girls to feel seen, protected, and connected—to themselves, to the earth, and to the lineage of women who came before them.
Natalia
Natalia Goodheart is a conscious connected breathwork coach and energy healer based in Frome, Somerset. Her work isn't about fixing or teaching. It's about creating a space where people can remember who they already are, and she sees herself as a witness to the shifts that unfold. Drawing on the felt sense, the nervous system and the body's own intelligence, her breathwork sessions invite you to slow down, soften and listen inward. She works people 1-2-1, in person and online, and in community group settings. For this retreat, Natalia will guide a breathwork session on coming back to the self: a chance to arrive in your body, let go of what you've been carrying, and meet yourself with gentleness.

Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith
Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith
Join us for a relaxed and informative morning at Vallis Farm, timed to coincide with the early bird activity without the pre-dawn start.
We’ll meet at 7:30am at the farmhouse entrance. After a hot drink to get us going, we’ll head out on a guided walk around the farm with ecologist and bird expert Rob Frith, exploring the land and listening to the morning chorus as it builds.
Rob will help us identify the birds we hear (and hopefully see), explain what’s happening ecologically at this time of year, and share insights into how the farm supports wildlife. With a bit of luck, we may also spot barn owls that regularly hunt over the fields.
After the walk, we’ll return to the farmhouse for a cooked breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients, including eggs from our rescue hens. We’ll eat together around the table, with time to ask Rob questions and chat more broadly about birds, farming, and the wider landscape.
The morning will wrap up at 10:30, leaving you well fed, well informed and hopefully feeling a little more connected to the land around you.
This is one of two Morning Chorus Bird Walks on Friday 23rd April and Friday 14th May.
Cost: £30 per person
A thoughtful, unhurried way to start the day, for anyone curious about birds, ecology, and the rhythms of a working farm.
And why not extend your experience by spending the night in one of our Shepherd’s Huts?
