Wonder Gig: Early Years

Wonder Gig: Early Years is back at Gloucester Guildhall on Saturday 20 March, a live music session for music-loving grown-ups and children aged 0-4. It's a family-friendly one, so you can bring the little ones along rather than leaving them at home.

Each session is themed and pairs acoustic covers of well-known pop, rock and folk tunes by a professional musician with an experienced play facilitator. The facilitator hands out props and puppets for gentle, child-led play, which gives adults a chance to unwind and play with their children in a welcoming, relaxed space. The Bow Bar opens for refreshments, so there's something to drink while the music is going.

The setting is Gloucester Guildhall, the county's premier arts venue, built in 1890 on the site of Sir Thomas Rich's Blue Coat School and opened in 1892. A major refurbishment between 1985 and 1988 turned it into the lively room it is today, still known as 'The County's Liveliest Venue'. Over the years it's hosted national acts like Radiohead, Muse, Primal Scream and Lily Allen, and comedians including Frankie Boyle and Jeremy Hardy.

Tickets are £5 for adults and £5 for children, and every adult and child needs their own ticket. You'll find it at 23 Eastgate Street, Gloucester, GL1 1NS.
