Wednesday 16th May - Lullaby Babies – the friendly singing group for new mothers and mums to be.
Singing to your baby is a beautiful way to sooth and bond, even while you’re still pregnant. I’ve been singing for over 20 years and I just love the idea of offering an opportunity for mothers and mums to be to learn some simple lullabies to sing.
They run as four, weekly sessions and cost £35 for the four weeks, including homemade cake. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SING TO COME ALONG!
