Help us to create a mini family music festival and a trail of free musical activities for families and children of all ages as part of the award-winning Lancaster Music Festival in October.
Lancaster Music Festival takes place in October aiming to bring together the community of Lancaster through music. Overriding feedback from 2023 was that people wanted more activities and music for families and for them to run longer through the day. This project will increase the number and scope of family-friendly activities, bringing them together under a LANCASTER FAMILY MUSIC FESTIVAL banner. With this funding we’ll create a trail of music-related activities around the city, increasing the number of music events for all ages from early years through to teenagers. We will create a printed trail and participants will receive stickers when they perform, play instruments, take part in interactive events, watch music shows/street theatre, or make stuff in fun hands-on workshops. New activities will include live performances of Cbeebies Music Storyland by the BBC; organ building workshops; play the Priory organ; recorder flash mob; early years gamalan; beatbox workshop, and lots more!
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The benefits of this project will be to: - Increase access for all abilities and ages to take part in an established major arts event - Provide opportunities for young people to perform at the festival, boosting confidence and a sense of achievement - Provide extra-curricular musical and emotional learning for primary children in a fun way - Increase positive health and wellbeing through dance and music workshops - Create a legacy of children inspired by music to help sustain Lancaster’s rich musical culture into the future - Provide economic and promotional benefit to Lancaster’s arts, heritage and cultural venues - Widen the appeal of and add value to the wider festival, increasing the sense of community and economic impact of the event - Provide paid and volunteering opportunities for musicians, creatives and support staff - Increase sense of ownership of the festival by the community through increased inclusion opportunities and consultation
Steps to get it done:
This project expanding the family activities at the festival will have particular impact in the areas specified above. However, the wider festival will have a significant economic impact – it now attracts an audience of over 55,000 over the weekend with an economic benefit for the city estimated in excess of £2.6 million. Creating a family festival within the main festival will add to economic growth as more people will be engaged with the festival and out spending around the city or travelling to visit as audience or participants.
