Rattles & Hums Music Workshop with Kjell Zille

Get set for a musical adventure that will have your little ones singing, playing and bopping along to some very catchy tunes. Join Kjell (he/him) from Rattles & Hums for a musical start of the day!

From classic, much-loved nursery rhymes to modern children’s songs with interactive elements, expect tunes about pirates, sleeping bunnies and more.

But there will also be puppetry, some flowery magic and if time allows, we’ll be using a parachute to make three eager sea creatures fly!

This session is perfect for babies and toddlers aged 8 months to 5 years.

Rattles & Hums’ Baby and Toddler music classes are on Instagram so pop on over to have a look to get your music vibes going:

Playful Plantlife Drawing Workshop with Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck

Join artist and The Gardening Drawing Club’s founder Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck for a soft drawing session focusing on movement and plants. Through playful repetition, pace and movements, the children and parents in this session will be invited to follow the lines they will draw using a variety of coloured pencils and feel the calming and confident feeling that emerges from such repetition. Plants freshly cut by the artist in the lush garden of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery will be the subjects of the drawing.
