CONCEPT:
We welcome you to an afternoon filled with stories and song.
Set within the rooms, (and when the weather permits!) the gardens of Wycombe Museum, our song circle provides a safe space to build relationships with others. Every voice and language is welcome, and no experience is necessary! The session includes time to get together for a coffee, tea and biscuits.

OVERVIEW:
Music Nature Create and Wycombe Museum are partnering on a 4-week pilot project, funded by Bucks Culture, to bring new parents in High Wycombe together. Our sessions are designed to provide a supportive space for families who may need additional support for any reason and will support parents in developing confidence and connecting with others. The sessions are an opportunity for parents to take part in a relaxed and creative session with their baby or young child.

PARTICIPANTS:
There is space for 16 participants.
Our sessions are suitable for all new parents but can specifically support those who may behaving difficulty making connections following the birth of their baby, or with their pre-schoolchild. We can support those with additional needs and sessions are accessible for anyone who faces barriers in participating in other activities due to language or financial situation.

WHEN:
Tuesdays 1:30 – 3:30pm
7th, 14th, 21st + 28th November 2023
(Ideally, all participants will join all four sessions)
