Lambing
Don’t forget that all that dogs must be on a lead around livestock especially now lambing time is upon us. In the last few weeks we have had a sheep killed and two injured on the land from over the road from Saddlescombe down to behind Foxash. There is an electric fence by the Saddlescombe Road layby and signs that sheep are grazing, it is National Trust land so please abide by the bylaws. I’m sure I speak for all the sheep farmers in the area.
Thanks
From Colette and Dave at Saddlescombe Farm.

Brighton Festival Chorus perform Bach’s St John Passion
Bach St John Passion
Semi-staged with orchestra
Conductor James Morgan
Brighton Festival Chorus returns to Brighton Dome for a special ‘in the round’ performance of JS Bach’s glorious St John Passion.
Bach’s powerfully meditative interpretation of the Gospel of St John is a work of startling immediacy yet subtle nuance, recreating the psychological and emotional conflict of Christ’s final days before His public trial and crucifixion. Bach’s dramatic vision is brought vividly to life in this intimate Proms-style performance, which takes the singers in and amongst the audience.
Good Friday 3 April, 3pm
Brighton Dome Concert Hall
BOOK ONLINE, call 01273 709709
Or visit the Brighton Dome Ticket Office in person
Concert ticket holders are invited to attend a free workshop to hear more about the St John Passion and to learn the chorales on Sat 21 Mar at St George’s, Kemptown. Further details including how to obtain your free workshop ticket at bfc.org.uk
