About

SoundStorm, lead partner of the BCP Music Education Hub, is proud to present a week of ukulele making and playing aimed at primary aged children and their families (though older participants are also welcome!) Workshops will be led by The Utterly Butterly Ukulele Project every day (Monday - Friday), from 26-30 July.

The Utterly Butterly Ukulele Project make great sounding ukuleles from rejected butter cartons which would otherwise end up in landfill (and which the butter manufacturers send them direct, new and ready to be converted into a uke!). Every participant attending a workshop (young and older) will make their own ukulele – it's completely free and you take your ukulele away with you!

The TUBUP team will be making ukuleles every day of Ukulele week. There will be 4-5 one hour sessions per day throughout the day which will see each participant (a child and a parent / carer) make a ukulele (around 45 mins) and then join in a short concert (around 15 mins). Total length of session is 1 hour. Open to all BCP residents and visitors.

Participant numbers will be number regulated to make sessions better for everyone and covid safe; sign up in advance of each session, on site, in Bournemouth Lower Gardens, outside the Stretch tent. Up to 100 ukuleles will be made each day through the week. No previous experience needed. All materials provided.

There are 20 places total per session, open to children aged 6 + (with a parent helper); the youngest age of participants without a parent helper is 9 years old. Parents / carers not helping their child will need to remain outside the tent throughout the session in case of emergency; and so they can watch the concert at the end of the session! Great family fun.

10am - 11am Session 1
11.30-12.30 Session 2
1.15 – 2.15pm Session 3
