Sound & Art St Swithun's Official Launch
St Swithun's Church, Worcester, Worcestershire
Come and celebrate the launch of Sound & Art at St Swithun's with a jam packed day of family activities and live performances!
Finally, St Swithun's is open for business and ready to showcase the best in arts and music to the good people of Worcester and further afield. We are delighted to be able to open our doors and welcome you to our beautiful Georgian church and experience everything we have to offer.
Our launch on Saturday October 22nd will be split in two halves:
From 11am - 3pm, our team will be on site to provide Georgian themed family activities such as 'make your own tricorn hat', 'decorate a Georgian pocket', 'learn a new language', 'dress like a Georgian!' All materials and costumes will be provided. This is a free activity and provided on a first come, first served basis. We have limited capacity so arrive early to guarantee your family a place, however family activities will take place over 4 hours so you're more than likely to get a place. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Then, from 3pm - 9:30pm we have an amazing all day session of live music featuring Lionhaire, Poppy WS, Chloe Mogg, Lucien Ralinoro, Hannah Law, 42 Worcester (Spoken Word), DJ Dan Wall (Funk, Soul, Latin, Beats & Grooves)
We will have a licensed bar at the church from 3pm until close including bar snacks. We use the 'Challenge25 policy' so please bring I.D. with you, if you wish to purchase alcoholic drinks.
As mentioned, the entire event is free and due to capacity, admission is based on a first come, first served basis. If you leave the building you will have to start admission again. Children are welcome throughout the duration of the event, however they must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
