MUSICAL MONDAYS

Singing sessions run every Monday at 10am and again at 11am. It costs a gold coin donation per family.

These children's song & dance sessions are suitable for children of all ages & a great way to meet other parents. We recommend those with smaller children come along to the afternoon session.

Please stay after the sing-alongs for a cuppa and a chat! We hope to see you there.

Note: Singing doesn't currently run on school holidays unless otherwise advertised.
