enjoy a cup of tea, a chat and songs

Music24’s Singing Cafés meet twice a month and are open to anyone who is looking for a way get out the house and have more social connections, especially older individuals or those who may be struggling to recover from a health problem and who may be at greater of risk of becoming isolated. Our trained facilitators are also able to support individuals with dementia, Parkinson's Disease, or who have had a stroke.

Our sessions last for 90 minutes with a break for refreshments and follow a standard structure:

• an initial period for chatting with tea/coffee

• a gentle physical and vocal warm up

• singing songs that have been chosen by the participants

• tea/coffee and cake break

• dancing to familiar songs.

Our sessions are run by two facilitators and supported by volunteers from the local community. We also encourage carers to stay and take part as well.

Our cafes currently take place in Bedford, Leighton Buzzard, Welwyn Garden City and Cheshunt.  You can access the sessions by filling in the referral form below:
