Moving Music concerts have been running since 2007, and in 2019 were brought under the Sound Resource umbrella.
The concerts offer an opportunity for people living with dementia or other life limiting conditions, along with their family, friends or professional carers, to enjoy a day time concert experience together, with professional musicians, in a beautiful space with good access and a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Moving Music concerts combine performance by professional and other musicians of a high standard, along with sing-along songs for the audience. Refreshments are served from 30 minutes before the concerts, allowing the audience time to park, come in, settle down and socialise before the concert starts.
The concerts are held 4 times per year, on varying days of the week, with the option of attending in the morning or afternoon. Gallery of Photographs: Gallery Here
