Leicestershire Bonsai Club
We are a small, friendly club, meeting monthly to develop our interest in the art of bonsai and to encourage others to become involved in this fascinating pastime.
Our membership consists of all bonsai abilities from beginners through to people with many years experience. We welcome visitors and new members, no matter what their experience level.
The emphasis during our meetings is on practical bonsai techniques including re-potting, pruning, wiring, styling etc. We have regular guest speakers to share their expertise on bonsai matters. We also hold monthly Members Workshops in the Spring to Autumn seasons.
We meet at Whitwick Park Hall, a modern equipped, council-owned community hall with disabled access facilities and a spacious car park immediately in front of the building. Full address details can be found on our website
Meetings start at 6.30pm on the first Tuesday of every month February to November. If you are new to bonsai and starting without a tree to bring, that is ok. First meeting is complimentary and you can come and find out what is needed, or bring one of your trees to a meeting for advice. We welcome all abilities and will be pleased to see you.

The Lachrimae Consort – An Entertainment of Elizabethan Music
“An Entertainment of Elizabethan Music”
The Lachrimae Consort returns with a wonderful evening programme which includes instrumental music and songs from the time of Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare.
The “consort of six” became very popular following the Queen’s visit to Kenilworth Castle in 1575 when Lord Leicester employed the most famous musicians of the land. This new and unique combination of blown, plucked and bowed instruments (flute, lutes and viols) found a place in many noble households, especially if they were expecting a visit from the Queen! Sir Francis Walsingham, the Queen’s Secretary of State, maintained such a consort and his music books survive.
The evening’s programme is enhanced by entertaining readings, including some from the great Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon.
£8 per person
Doors 6:30pm. The Barn bar will be open for light refreshments.
