"Bring the Orchard into your Living Room"

As a fan of Headless Cross Community Orchard, you’re probably as disappointed as we are that we can’t celebrate our usual events – like Apple Day, May Fayre, and our noisy Wassail. Thankfully – help is at hand!

We’ve teamed up with local arts scheme Live & Local to work on the “Living Room Project”. It’s a fantastic community song-writing venture, with creative ways for getting you involved! We’re working with a renowned songwriter, to help us create a unique song for the orchard, and to perform it online to turn into a video. What's more - we need your help!

Firstly, in what you might call the "Blossom Phase", we’re looking for contributions of memories, anecdotes, jokes, jingles, or words of any kind - all related to the orchard on Headless Cross Green. Your words will help write the song!

Even if you don’t help write the song, you can still perform in the video, the "Fruiting Phase", recording your contribution with a camera-phone. You may want to sing-along in the chorus, perform something orchard-related in your video, or even wear a costume! Perhaps you can play an instrument? Whatever your special power is – we’re keen for you to take part. It’s a group song, let’s have fun with it!

The “Living Room Project” welcomes input from everyone who feels a connection to our orchard on Headless Cross Green. We think this is a great opportunity to help celebrate it – And we'd love you to take part. It's also not just restricted to those who have online resources. Our orchard volunteers are keen to help everyone feel part of it.
