Beanbag Proms

Come and enjoy this magical musical adventure as Alasdair Malloy and Beanie Bear take us on a journey through the hours of the day. Once we've been woken up to our orchestral alarm clock, we’ll gently rise and shine with Morning from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite. Then we’ll check in with Leroy Anderson’s Syncopated Clock before lunch. The Crazy Cuckoo Clock will entertain us through the busy afternoon, until we relax with a soothing lullaby as we try to drift off to sleep... before we give up completely and dance the night away!

Frequently sold-out long in advance of the performances, The Beanbag Proms are a chance for the very young and their carers to share terrific music together - and have some fun along the way. So join us for this enchanting and entertaining hour which will excite and enthral your child in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

Each concert includes:

At the end of the performance there will also be an opportunity for children to have a close look and touch (gently!) the instruments used during the performance. So join Beanie Bear's Gang and enjoy a magical musical adventure that your children will be talking about for a long time to come. Please note: Parents must remain in the foyer area with their children throughout this performance. Video or audio recording of this performance is strictly forbidden.
