Summer of Music at Elgar's Birthplace

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

Join us for an outdoor musical 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!
