English folk songs can teach us a great deal about the lives of children and adults living in rural places in days gone by; their jobs, their lives and the things that they thought about. Jackie will teach a range of songs connected to objects in the museum, together with beautiful harmonies and arrangements.
No experience necessary – just bring your voices!
Suitable for families with children aged 0 -11. Adults must stay with their children throughout the session.
