Music Bus at the Women’s Hall

The Women’s Hall is a real gem for all of us at ‘Music Bus’. Since we started back at the hall in autumn 2021 (post-COVID) we have seen many developments which have made the experience a delight for us, our children and parents.

The flooring has been completely refurbished making it a safe and comfortable space to hold our classes. The extension to the kitchen (Coopers Cabin) has made it easy to run light refreshments for the children and their parents in our social time.

Thursdays really are the highlight to the week! The hall, which is so central to the village, is a hive of fun. The children arriving create a real buzz while waiting for their friends to join the start of our music-making. The acoustics in the hall provide the perfect setting to make lots and lots of noise. Using the stage as our backdrop creates the perfect amount of suspense and curiosity when finding out what is in the bag and when we reveal the Musical Box.

The 14 years that ‘Music Bus’ has been at the Women’s Hall have been such a success! Since we first started, arriving in a red Morris Minor (which certainly got us spotted), hundreds of families have passed through our doors – some even deciding to work with us, as with Beck, our current assistant.

We love being based in this historic building founded by such pioneering women. As a small business, we love to champion other small businesses, women in business, and take inspiration from the Beck sisters who worked to improve the lives of local women and children.
