About the programme

Have a Go is an inclusive school holiday programme in association with Gloucestershire County Council HAF (Holiday Activities and Food programme). Lunch is provided daily for all those attending.

Through the four days, young people will gain experience learning through multiple music activities such as;

• Singing
• Songwriting
• Rapping
• DJ’ing
• Music Production
• and playing instruments, whilst having fun and making new friends.

They will spend time learning how to set up/use equipment as well as creating new music/songs, working as a team and collaborating with other young people. Through these sessions, young people will develop social and musical skills, whilst building on their knowledge and self-confidence.

For one day on Wednesday 13th August, we will work in partnership with Your Next Move to provide a dance workshop in our event space with an opportunity for young people to select and play the music that their peers dance to. The session is open to any level (beginner-advanced) for ages 11-16. It’ll be a great opportunity to get creative and let off some steam on the dancefloor before returning to school.
