About the group
Join with others to sing for wellbeing at The Beaney! Based in one of the museum’s beautiful galleries, this communal singing group will improve your mood and confidence through a guided singing session.
Soundss Beaney is delivered by Music4Wellbeing, a Kent-based charity that specialises in therapeutic musical interventions to improve wellbeing, along with a member of staff from the museum.
Session details
At each session you can expect a warm and friendly welcome, social time over refreshments and a wonderful musical experience- no singing experience necessary! Occasionally we are joined by local school children and teachers to create special intergenerational sessions.
Sounds Beaney occurs monthly on a Friday, 10.30am – 11.30am, with refreshments served until midday.
Please arrive at the Visitor Information Desk on arrival to the Museum.

Accessibility
The Beaney is registered as a Dementia Friendly venue, and our staff are here to make your visit as welcoming and supportive as possible.
We understand it may feel intimidating to visit a public venue such as a museum when experiencing symptoms of dementia. You may find the accessibility page on our website a useful resource to help plan your trip to us.
