About

During May half term, you are invited to join makers artists Lottie Smith and Molly Barrett for a hands-on, family friendly workshop. Make your own fun hat or musical instrument ready for the Northumberland Miners' Picnic on Saturday 14 June. 

We're going to replicate the North East community jazz bands of the 1960s and 70s and have our very own Woodhorn Community Band who will perform with Mr Wilson's Second Liners at this year's Miners' Picnic. 

You can make and play your own kazoo or drum, or have fun miming along with the band.
