FREEPLAY MUSIC SESSIONS EVERY TUESDAY 5-7PM!

We are brimming with excitement to be launching our new weekly music session for 11-16 year-olds who attend LSAP! 

We’re really excited to welcome Jess Whelligan on Tuesday 26 May to our Dream Lab music session as our guest musician! Jess is a talented musician and composer who plays lots of different instruments including the cello, guitar, violin, synthesizer, and voice. She loves creating music inspired by folk traditions, nature, and improvisation, and has performed at festivals and events across the UK and around the world. Jess enjoys exploring different sounds and making music in creative and fun ways. We are delighted to welcome Jess as our guest musician and we’re looking forward to sharing music, ideas, and inspiration together.

Here’s everything you need to know:

🎵 Dream Lab Tuesday

How does it work?

• Each session is limited to 15 young people, aged 10–16

• To book a place, children/young people can sign up for 'Dream Lab Tuesday' on site, at the front desk every Wednesday from 6pm to Friday 6pm, the week before each session

• On Friday evenings, a member of staff will contact parents to confirm places

• A waiting list will be available if sessions fill up, if there are cancellations, a place will be offered to those at the top of the list

• Missed sessions policy: if a child signs up and misses two sessions in a row, they will need to wait two weeks before signing up again

What to expect

• Each session will be led by two musicians, including LSAP General Manager, Faith, plus a guest musician

• A playworker will also be present throughout the session

• We’ll welcome a variety of guest musicians, bringing different styles and influences. So far, this includes:

  • DJ Anjali

  • Jess Whelligan (cellist, fiddle player, guitarist, singer, and synth player)

• The Dream Lab is all about creative play through music, open to all abilities, with no prior experience needed

• We will explore improvisation, jamming, and collaboration, building confidence, creativity, and connection through music

• We hope to host two optional performance events each year (summer and winter)

• And of course… it’s completely free!

We can’t wait to hear the joyful sounds coming from the LSAP Dream Lab! 🎶

💛 And lastly... 

Lollard Street Adventure Playground/The Kennington Association is a charity, and this means every bit of money we spend on our historic project is money we find and raise ourselves: we are not publicly funded. If you have the means, please do consider making a donation, so that we can keep our adventure playground alive for years to come, and keep bringing free play to children in North Lambeth! We are especially trying to raise money to purchase a washing machine!

Have a playful week!
