29 October 2026
New Siblands Primary School, Gillingstool, Thornbury, Bristol BS35 2EG
10.30am to 12.00 Family Session
Join in with the whole family for a fun and relaxed musical activity session. Expect songs, musical games and a chance to explore musical instruments and make your own music together! Our music leaders will guide us through musical activities which allow everyone to participate in the way that’s best for them. We encourage creativity, there is no right or wrong, and no previous experience is needed!
1.00pm to 2.30pm Complex needs session
A session for young people with complex needs and their family members or supporting adults. These sessions will be held at a slow and calm pace and allow plenty of time for the music leaders to find ways that each young person can participate. We have a range of accessible musical instruments and technology that allow different ways of playing even if movement is limited.
We will have a high ratio of staff to ensure that your child can participate to their full potential, however we are unable to offer physical or medical support. If your child needs 1-1 support or personal care, we ask that they attend with an adult who can provide this. Changing facilities are available at the school. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
Please note – wheelchair users can attend either session, please choose the session that best fits your child’s learning or communication needs. The sessions are aimed at children aged 5 to 12, but all welcome if you feel the session would be a good fit! Session are FREE but booking is essential.
