Social sessions of live music, conversations and refreshments in Medway
Following a successful pilot of All Together Now in Medway (Winter 2024), Live Music Now is thrilled to deliver a second series of these inclusive social events, with funding from the Medway UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
These relaxed events are for Medway families with a child with additional learning needs and/or a disability.
“...it was so nice to be somewhere without other parents judging we were all in the same boat and the guitarist was in tune to the SEN kids needs. We came out very pleased.” 2024 Medway parent
All Together Now concerts are a great opportunity for families with a child with additional learning needs and/ or a disability, to come together and share an enjoyable participatory experience in the company of Live Music Now musicians.
The sessions start with an interactive live music performance from professionally trained musicians, followed by refreshments and time for socialising (free refreshments included).
These events are programmed to place in two venues, Hempstead Library and Danecourt School, please refer to the event information below for details on which venue is planned for which date.
“I really enjoyed it and felt it benefitted all 3 of my children. 2 who have SEND and 1 who doesn’t. It was lovely to watch them be able to participate in something together” 2024 Medway parent
Booking is essential for each event due to limited capacity and access requirements – see individual event booking links below. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
