Join singer Rumbi Tauro for a songwriting workshop where the natural world can inspire and grow your creativity! No experience needed.

Make the wonders of nature into song in this workshop led by soul artist Rumbi Tauro. Suitable for all levels of musical experience, over two hours you’ll turn your impressions of the Peak District into the seeds of lyrics, before collectively shaping them into songs, with the possibility of singing them (although you won't need to sing if you'd rather not!).

Who is this workshop for? The workshop is open to people of all genders aged 14+ (accompanied by a parent/carer if under 18). You don’t need any previous songwriting/singing experience or kit to take part. We will provide paper, pens and handheld recorders to help with capturing your ideas. If the weather permits, we will start the workshop finding inspiration outside, so please dress warmly.

Access info: The workshop takes place upstairs at Open House where unfortunately there is no wheelchair access. Please get in touch via info@yorkshiresoundwomen.com if you have any other questions or access adjustments that would make it easier for you to attend this event.

Getting there: Open House is located in the centre of Hathersage, 600m from Hathersage train station, with services from Sheffield, Manchester and stops in between. There is car parking in the village. Open House serves teas, coffees and cakes from 8am-4pm.
