[New] What does Britten Pears Arts offer

families and young people in 2023 - The Red House, Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings

The Red House was delighted to win Suffolk Museums prestigious Family Friendly Award at the end of 2022. As we begin a new year, Britten Pears Arts continue to offer a range of free musical and historical opportunities for families and young people across both sites.

Mini Music Makers

Mini Music Makers is a friendly and fun Friday morning session of music and play activities for 0-5-yearolds that takes place at The Red House, Aldeburgh. These sessions, which include exploring a museum environment, singing and creative play, are great for little ones to learn social skills, turn-taking, sharing and following instructions. These sessions take place from January 13th on Friday mornings from 10am - 11.30am.

Music Makers

In February half-term and throughout the year, older children can engage with music at Snape Maltings in a free afternoon of music making, exploring musical styles from jazz fusion to orchestral music. Sessions are for children aged 5-7, and 8-11, and the next session takes place on Wednesday 15th February 2023.

Group A

Group A is a fun and engaging singing group for young people in Suffolk. Working with 8-18-year-olds, Group A consists of vocal performance groups that rehearse and perform throughout the year. The project gives young people opportunities to work with a wide variety of professional musicians. New members are always welcome in Leiston, Ipswich and Lowestoft.

Family Activities

Over the school holidays The Red House offers a variety of activities for families of all ages. From hands on music making in the exhibition gallery, to exploring the site as a family with the 2023 Family Activity Book. Keep an eye on the website for details of larger 2023 events, such as the Audio Easter Egg Hunt and May Half Term Family Garden Days!
