Musical Picnics are warm, eclectic and diverse musical performances for children, parents and families, welcoming everyone from the local community, featuring an imaginative programme of artists, educators, musicians, instruments, styles, approaches, cultures and personalities from across the UK and beyond.
Brought together in a friendly and relaxed space, Musical Picnics are original participatory performances led by new musicians and artists each month, helping children and families to absorb, interact and fall in love with the incredible world of music and performance.
