Growing Singing

25/06/2026

As well as singing for our own pleasure the Growing Singers will sometimes venture out and entertain the folk of Kendal. Last year we performed at the Kendal Nature Recovery Festival. We so enjoyed adding our support and songs to this important cause.

Did you know that as well as being a fantastic community choir the Growing Singers also raises money for Growing Well?

Growing Well is a local charity that helps people recover their mental health through horticultural. As well as financial support during the summer months singers are invited to experience first hand the power of tending the crops on Growing Well's volunteer days.

Here we are showing off our harvest of French beans, destined for that week's crop share.

You can sing

All too often folk are told they can’t sing. Singing is for watching on the TV talent shows and stadium tours. People often say “I’m tone deaf” or “I can’t carry a tune”. But when scientists actually studied if people could follow rhythms or hold notes the data showed that overwhelmingly people could.

At Growing Singing we can help you discover that you can sing. Singing together in a supportive group environment can help you discover the joy of song. Find out more at our website…

“Having much of a voice isn’t important - when you sing in the round and you’re in harmony with everyone else; the sum of the parts is so special.“

Find your tribe

Studies have shown that the more personal connections we have the happier we are. Building those connections can be hard. But one thing that has brought people together for millennia is singing. Singing together. Singing to celebrate the good times. Singing to find strength in the bad times. As early humans once sang around savannah campfires now modern humans are now singing in Kendal Town Hall!

Joining together in song can bring joy, compassion and community. To find out how Growing Singing can help bring those qualities into your life visit our website…

Find your voice

At Growing Singing we firmly believe that singing is for everyone. Singing is good for the soul, good for the brain and good for your blood pressure! Singing with others can add to those benefits through camaraderie, through shared purpose and through glorious harmonies.

Growing Singing offers both no-commitment drop-in sessions and a regular performance choir. All taught by ear, no need to read music. If those are not for you we can point you in the direction of a host of other singing opportunities throughout the South Lakes. Find out more at our website…
