Little Music Makers

By Alibi

Gather round for a joyful weekly music session designed especially for little ones and their grown-ups

Led by Laura Loft of Big Music Collective, Little Music Makers invites children aged 2–5 to explore the magic of sound through story, song, and play. Each week we’ll gather in a cosy, creative space centred around a “campfire,” sharing songs and stories, and experimenting with a range of instruments. It’s a relaxed, welcoming environment where children can listen, move, and make music freely — and parents can join in too! 

Whether your child loves to sing, tap out rhythms, or simply watch and listen, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. These sessions are all about discovery, connection, and the simple joy of making music together. 

When: Thursdays from 10am – 11am, 1 7 Sep – 10 Dec
Where: Sessions will take place in our Studio which is accessed via a flight of stairs. Please get in touch if you have any questions, access@theatrealibi.co.uk.
Suitable for: 2 – 5 year olds, babes in arms are welcome with their older siblings
Tickets: Pay What You Can


Changes to funding mean these sessions are no longer fully subsidised.

We want to keep them as accessible as possible so if you’re able to pay, that helps us cover costs and keep them running. If you’re not able to buy a ticket right now, you’re still very welcome. The free ticket is for you, no questions asked.

All children must be accompanied by a grown up.
