Every month here at Grapevine Event Management we choose the pick of the bunch out of all the events happening across Wales.
However, due to COVID-19 cancelling most or all of the events around we have instead chosen 5 online activities to take part in during this difficult time.
shAFF Weekly Watchlist
What? Over the coming weeks the ShAFF team will revisit the past few festivals and hand-pick the best adventure films from around the world to create a weekly watchlist of free online adventure films. They’ll be posting a new film, free to view online, at 7pm every day. Watch them one by one, or save them up and screen your own virtual ShAFF session at home.
Get to know a new city: Bristol
What? While the Coronavirus pandemic has temporarily closed Bristol’s attractions, you can still experience the city’s rich history from the comfort of your sofa with these virtual tours and experiences. Culture lovers, travellers and families can explore Bristol’s heritage, famous Banksy street art, galleries, historic museums, music and top attractions online, with these virtual tours, podcasts and playlists.
VE Day Singalong
What? At 9pm on Friday 8th May, join the Royal British Legion for a UK-wide rendition of Dame Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again’ to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day. You can also watch and join in on BBC One who will be featuring the singalong as part of their VE Day broadcast.
Stay at Home Festival
What? Nothing is stopping comedians from doing their routines – even if they are not allowed out of the house and don't have any live audiences to perform to. The Cosmic Shambles Network comprises gigs performed from comedians' homes. With new shows daily, why not check it out of some light hearted comedy.
Themed Dance Tutorials with Oti Mabuse
What? If circuit fitness isn’t your thing, why not join Oti Mabuse (Strictly Come Dancing Professional) who is giving free dance lessons daily. Oti is joined by her dancer husband Marius Iepure, with the pair doing 'themed' lessons, including things like Shrek and Trolls.
Stay safe everyone!!!
