Join artists Farah Elle and Caroline Moreau for a creative workshop exploring voice, song, and wellbeing in a supportive, welcoming environment.

These sessions are designed as a safe and inclusive space for women of all cultures and backgrounds to come together, connect through song, and explore their creativity. Through gentle vocal exercises, shared singing, and creative expression, participants are invited to engage with music as a tool for both artistic exploration and personal wellbeing.

No singing experience is needed – all abilities are welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and open to anyone curious about using their voice in a creative way.

Free to attend. No booking required – just come along.

This project is funded by the Arts Council.
