Singing is a great way to relieve stress and promote well-being.

Meet new people and take some time for you in this new acappella choir for mums, dads, grandparents, carers and their babies!

It is a baby friendly class, created especially so you can bring the baby you care for. Grown ups are in a semi circle (with room for your buggy next to you) and babies can sit, crawl or play on the blanket in front of you.

These uplifting classes are led by conductor/composer (and mum) Marta Radwan. There's no auditions, no singing experience is needed and you don't need to have a 'good voice' - just an openness to have a go! You'll be sure to know the songs and there will even be some which include your little one.

There's also:
* Free on-site parking
* Café (open all day)
* Baby changing facilities

Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Carers all welcome with their babies under 18 months

Smoking Apples Present

Escaping on a Kindertransport train, one small Czech-Jewish girl embarks on a
mighty adventure.

Crossing between the past and present, Babi travels across Europe; from bon bons in
Germany to the smell of the sea in Margate, she discovers how tiny acts of kindness
can change the course of a person’s life.

Joyful, moving and poignant, Kinder features beautiful table top puppetry and
cinematic shadow play. Babi tries to assemble the parts of her broken identity, to
find peace in her future.

Kinder is a multi-award winning show, from puppetry and visual theatre company
Smoking Apples. Inviting you to take a seat inside an immersive set, the story unfolds
through a series of playful hatches and openings.
