Livery Events

As you wake up this morning after Thanksgiving, the SHA Board would like to say how thankful we are for our all of our supporters, attendees, volunteers, and our community. Being able to preserve part of Sunapee's heritage while bringing together our community through music, art and education brings us great joy. We are so grateful for the opportunity to do so and all your support.

Thanksgiving Morning at The Livery

The Livery looked beautiful Thanksgiving morning as almost 800 registered walkers and runners participated in the 17th Annual Sunapee Turkey Trot. The Livery was full of people registering themselves and their families. We are proud to help host this annual community event that many in our community, and beyond, make part of their Thanksgiving traditions.

Programming Note

As we enter our busy holiday season The Livery Board members are planning and organizing dinners, concerts, classes and more to take us through the winter. The building itself will be hosting part of Sunapee Village Christmas and numerous private holiday parties and events.

This newsletter will be taking a small hiatus and will return on December 15th to recap Sunapee Village Christmas and announce new events that will be taking place. Any questions you may have can be sent to info@thelivery.org

A Series of One Day Retreats for Women

We are excited to announce a series of one day retreats for women “Sacred Space Through the Seasons” Moon Mama Herbals and Lisa and Meghan MacLean of Crescent Moon Wellness and Yoga have co-created a day for each season filled with yoga, meditation, herbal knowledge sharing, and so much more. The next Retreat is on January 21st.

The Livery is looking to expand on the events and classes we are offering to the community. To do so we’d like to hear what kinds of events and programs you would be interested in participating in. Would you like to attend a Murder Mystery Night, an 80’s Prom, Karaoke or Open Mic Night? Maybe a book group or adult art class. Please take a moment and let us know what would most interest you.

Increasing our programming also means finding instructors.

Do you have an interest or hobby you’d like to share with others? Maybe you’d like to teach an art or technology class, give a presentation on a topic that you are passionate about, or host a knitting circle or book group. We’d love to work with you to make this happen.

Rent The Livery

The Livery - A Popular Rental Facility

You know we do weddings and concerts, but that is just the beginning. We have had a photographer rent The Stable for a photo shoot and have hosted several corporate retreats. We have had Pop-Up Shops use our space for a day or weekend as well. Need a spot to host a shower, birthday, or retirement party? How about an art show, or art class? We could even be the place to hold a book group or knitting circle. With 4 different spaces to rent there is a space to fit your needs. Each event transforms The Livery into a new venue for celebrating any and all occasions.
