A Playful Musical Summer at The Firs

Get ready to feel the rhythm of summer - we encourage you to move, play and discover!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us for a playful outdoor summer filled with musical festivities. It's time to feel inspired, be creative and play.

Take to the stage in your own way and let your imagination wander—create your own melody, beat and rhythm.

Hula hoop, jiggle and juggle, twirl, leap, and dance your way through a summer day!

Or slow things down and relax with a book in a cosy nook or bring along your favourite teddy and enjoy creating a teddy bears picnic in the idyllic cottage garden.

A joyful, family-friendly summer adventure filled with music, creativity and play awaits at Elgar's Birthplace!
