Create your own musical instrument from simple everyday materials and discover how ordinary objects can be transformed into extraordinary sounds. Guided by Davey from Backyard Music, participants will build and decorate their own instruments before learning some simple rhythms and tunes together.

Suitable for younger children, this creative workshop encourages imagination, recycling, and a love of music through hands-on making.

Adults, please stay and get involved alongside your children. If your young ones are prone to high excitement, please help out.
