The festival supported sessions of music and story for young children at Rook Lane Chapel, Frome, helping Mr Rook’s Speak Easy organise a pilot for what will hopefully become a regular event.

There were two very different sessions: one busy with lots of toddlers having lots of fun and one very small with just a couple of children getting lots of time to play many different instruments. A very successful experiment that the Mr Rook’s team say has has given them loads of ideas and suggestions for improvements as they move towrads creating their new early-years events.  Thank you to all who came, listened and played and of course to Arts Council England who made it possible. Keep an eye on the Mr Rook’s Facebook page for announcements about future events.
