🪴Potager Family Sing for Wellbeing

Thursday, 23 June '22   11am – 12pm BST
Potager Garden, High Cross, Constantine, Falmouth, TR11 5RF
5 spaces available

Details

Come and join us outdoors to sing your heart out in the beautiful Potager Garden!

until the cafe reopens in March, we will meet in the greenhouse behind the cafe building

This is a gathering for parents and carers of young children to get a boost of wellbeing and connect with your community through singing together. Babies and kids, and all shapes and sizes of family welcome!

What to expect - we will do a short body and voice warm up, and learn 3 or 4 songs and enjoy singing them together. We will also do some simple breathing, mindfulness and movement exercises that are really effective for positive mental health. You will leave this session with some simple songs you and your children can enjoy singing together at home, and some relaxation activities to help you feel calm and connected.

No singing or musical experience necessary, we learn 'by ear' and sing together so you won't be put on the spot. We sing easy to learn chants, rounds and harmony songs in 2 or 3 parts from around the world - a bit different from your typical nursery rhymes or choir repertoire! Songs are aimed at adults but kids enjoy them too 😊

Looking forward to singing with you soon 💗

🦠Safe singing and covid

-The event will be in keeping with government covid guidelines and event information will be updated if guidelines change.
-please do not attend if you have tested positive for covid in the last 10 days

🧸Bringing your children
-Babies and kids are welcome - we expect kids and babies to make noise and do the things kids do during the session, please feel completely free to meet their needs and enter/leave the session as necessary.
-You are responsible for the health and safety and entertainment of any children accompanying you. We are creating a safe space for babies and pre-schoolers so we ask you to be responsible for your child's behaviour.
-Kids are free to play, join in, sleep or feed while you sing. Songs are aimed at adults so bring something to entertain older ones if they're likely to get bored - books, colouring, quiet toys. I won't be providing toys at the moment to keep things simple with Covid cleaning.

🎒What to bring
-A favourite quiet toy or book or a blanket to snuggle in for your little ones
-warm and waterproof layers, winter outdoor gear
-blanket or cushion to sit on if you like
-Drinks and snacks - important to stay hydrated while singing! There's a gorgeous cafe on site serving up hot drinks, snacks and brunches.

Cancellation policy - the event will still run in bad weather as we will use the indoor space. If I have to cancel, I will give a refund.
