Singing Mamas Forest Row

Singing Mamas sessions are a space where all women, no matter their singing skill, can come together in a supportive community. Whether you’ve sung for years or feel a bit hesitant, our relaxed environment welcomes you and your little ones to connect, sing, and find joy in shared melodies. No auditions, no solos, just a community coming together in song! More info: https://forestrowvillagehall.org/organiser/singing-mamas/ https://www.singingmamas.org/ What To Expect Community Connection: A warm, welcoming space where you can connect with other local women and share experiences. Guided Singing: Our sessions are tailored to every level. You’ll be introduced to simple songs taught by ear, ensuring everyone can participate, regardless of prior singing experience. Child-Friendly: We understand the demands of motherhood. Feel free to bring your little ones along. We foster a family-friendly environment where kids are part of the joy. Supportive Atmosphere: Nervous about singing in a group or worried you’re not ‘good enough’? Don’t be. Our main goal is to uplift each other and find joy in the process, not to perform perfectly. Refreshment Break: We always make time for a little break, allowing you to relax, chat with fellow mamas, and enjoy some refreshments. Benefits Inclusive Environment: Being part of a group where everyone is welcome, regardless of singing ability or experience, boosts confidence and self-worth.

Near Here keeps track of everything from market stalls to community plays so you never miss a thing. We know exactly where the next village fête is happening before anyone else has put a notice in the window. Come along and see what's on without needing to scroll through endless feeds or guess what's going on.
