Young musicians and dancers aged 10 – 18 (school years 6 – 13) are invited to take part in the annual Big Bree Workshop Weekend on 1st & 2nd November in the Youth Arts Centre.

Organised by Culture Vannin, youngsters will spend the weekend with expert tutors learning Manx songs and dances, working on instrumental technique, creating a play, playing in a band, writing new tunes and songs, and putting on a show at the end for family and friends. No experience of Manx music, dance or language is needed, but students are expected to be fairly competent on their instrument. Places are free but limited, and the closing date for registration is Friday 24th October.
