What is Blitz Golf… and why is everyone talking about it?

Think golf, but faster, more social, and built for spectators.

Blitz Golf is a high-energy, modern format that’s changing how people experience the game.

No slow rounds.
No wandering around not knowing what’s going on.

Instead you get:

Fast-paced competition
Live scoring on big screens
A real atmosphere around the course
A stadium-style final hole that brings everything together

It’s golf, but actually exciting to watch.

Join us on Saturday 27 June 2026 for our annual Summer Festival to celebrate everything we do at Severn Arts!

Experience the transformation of The Guildhall, St Andrew’s Church and Cathedral Square into exciting spaces filled with performances, exhibitions, and activities for all ages.

Admission to the Summer Festival is FREE and will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm – all are welcome to attend.

We’re wired to seek certainty. To look for answers, plans, and predictability.

But right now? Many leaders are navigating in the dark. Budgets are tightening. Expectations are rising. Job security feels fragile.

And your team is looking to you, not for perfect answers, but for direction, clarity, and trust.

Leadership isn’t tested when things are stable. It’s tested by how you respond, how you communicate, and how you build trust when the pressure is on.

In this practical, high-impact online workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Lead with confidence—even when you don’t have all the answers
• Communicate in a way that builds trust, not anxiety
• Build resilience in yourself and your team
• Create the conditions for teams to thrive—not just survive

You can’t eliminate uncertainty. But you can change how you lead through it.

If you’re interested in finding out more about Leading Through Uncertainty, join us for this exploratory workshop on Monday 29 June 2026, 12:30 – 13:30 BST. Expert facilitators Rachel Gilmore and Sarah Scarratt will guide you towards a better understanding of how to lead through uncertainty and finding the resources to lead with confidence.
