About the group

Sounds Beaney sessions are 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.

At each session you can expect a warm, friendly welcome and an inclusive singing-based session in the museum. No singing experience needed, free to attend and no need to book.

Refreshments are provided at the end of the session.
