Summer Bunting Printing Workshop (Age 8+) – Summer Holiday Workshops

Create your very own personalised summer bunting using beautiful Indian wooden printing blocks, fabric paints and colourful summer-inspired designs! In this fun and creative 1.5 hour workshop, children aged 8–12 will discover the art of block printing while designing a unique piece of fabric bunting. They can choose to create a row of flags featuring their name or decorate it with bright summer motifs such as flowers, leaves, sunshine, insects and decorative patterns. Inspired by the colours and shapes of summer, young artists will experiment with different printing techniques before creating their final masterpiece. You will practise printing first on a piece of cotton to learn the best techniques using a small sponge or dabber. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll choose your colours and favourite wooden blocks before designing and printing your finished bunting flag. Led by local artist Pippa Gillingham – who you may also recognise from our SMart Café – children will have time to practise printing on fabric, explore ideas on paper and carefully plan their design before printing their final piece. The completed bunting can be hung in a bedroom, displayed at a summer party, used to decorate a garden space, or given as a handmade gift. Perfect for creative children who enjoy making, designing and trying something new. All materials are provided.

Sound Bath with Loren

Sound Bath at Southern Maltings with Loren – a sound bath is an immersive, meditative experience where you are “bathed” in soothing sounds and vibrations created by instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs and chimes. You lie down with blankets and props to help you become comfortable, your eyes close, I start with a grounding meditation or yoga nidra and simply let layers of sound wash over you, helping to quiet the mind and relax the body. The vibrations work on a cellular level, supporting the nervous system, reducing stress, and promoting emotional release and energetic balance. Many people experience a shift moving from active thinking into deep rest, similar to meditation or sleep. Each session is unique, and not always relaxing, gongs can especially bring up sensations and emotions. You can expect a calm, supportive atmosphere where healing and stillness can naturally arise. Sound baths are accessible to everyone and offer a powerful way to reconnect. About Loren I found yoga as a teenager, following a VHS tape in my living room and making shapes simply because it felt good to move. Years later, after a stressful time in my 20s, I walked into my first real yoga class and left feeling lighter, calmer and more connected to myself.

Amplify - Good Time Locomotive / Ultraviolet

Amplify new music nights are events dedicated to showcasing and supporting up-and-coming musicians. They provide a platform for artists to perform their original music and gain exposure to a wider audience. GOOD TIME LOCOMOTIVE Good Time Locomotive (GTL) are a London-based alt pop/rock band blending shimmering synths, funky bass, glistening guitar, driving drums and heartfelt vocals to create emotion-packed music about identity, hope and resilience. Influenced by The 1975 and Don Broco, GTL fuse the spirit of the 80s/90s with a modern edge, connecting across generations both live and on record. Working with Grammy-winning producer Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse), they’ve refined their sound without losing their DIY roots. With new music monthly, strong social media engagement and high-energy shows, GTL is fast becoming a rising force in the UK and beyond. ULTRAVIOLET ULTRAVIOLET formed almost two years ago, in January 2024, at Monks Walk School in Welwyn Garden City. We’re an all female Indie/Rock band made up of four classmates who all share a love for music. Over the last two years we have performed at many of our schools’ music events and concerts, most recently winning our category at House Music.
