Spiky Singing With A Side of Silliness
Join singer-songwriter Nicky Bray for these family-friendly interactive singing storytelling sessions.
Think silly songs about creatures with spikes. Perhaps we’ll invent some of our own lyrics inspired by our favourite museum animals. All ages welcome, most suitable for under 8s. Please book a ticket per child. Accompanying adults don’t need a ticket.
There are two session times to choose from when booking your ticket.
