Enjoy an incredible 2 hour singing workshop with your Mum, Daughter, Grandma, or anyone in your family who just loves singing!
You donāt need to be an amazing singer, and you can still have an absolute blast regardless of your ability!
You’ll be learning two Motherās Day themed, upbeat pop songs (not Spice Girls, donāt worry š), with some amazing harmonies, which will leave you sky high, and buzzing for the rest of the weekend!
With an optional performance in the afternoon at York Hospital to fundraise for their charity, and a video recording of our songs, you could even surprise a Mum who lives further away!
Aimed at adults, and kids aged 9+. All kids must be accompanied by an adult who is also joining in with the workshop.
