Baby Rock Sampler

For Baby Rock Sampler I set up the gig space and chill out zones for open-ended play. Each space had arts and crafts activities with a plenty of options for kids to make masks and costumes, draw and collage, with different height tables for even the smallest of toddlers to be able to create comfortably, and used camping lights to set the tone and draw the children in.

I also provided dressing up boxes, inflatables and arranged free face painting to continue to keep the kids' attention so parents and carers could relax and enjoy the live performances.

For some shows we worked with the acts to provide interactive music and movement sessions so the whole family could join in with some of the set, sometimes testing out unusual instruments with the bands.

As part of the project I also facilitated a group discussion at Accrington Town Hall with the Lancashire music industry as part of the ENLIGHTEN weekend in 2024. We explored the challenges and opportunities around matinees shows, not just for families but for wider audiences. The networking element of this event also led to the formation of new partnerships.
