This year we have a wide variety of workshops including tune workshops from Tuneworks for both beginners and intermediate players, a singing workshop from Close Quarters and songwriting led by An Croenen. There will also be craft workshops with Rosie Robertson and the ever popular yoga & mindfulness sessions with Paula Holden – don’t forget your mats!
We are again holding the special workshop - 'Folk Threads' - join reminiscence practitioner Virginia Kettle for a dementia friendly inclusive workshop with music, poetry, object handling, laughter and friendship.
