Are you a parent or carer with a child under 5?

Join the Foundling Museum for a creative, fun and free music and storytelling workshop at Barking Learning Centre! No need to book, just drop in on the day.

This workshop for 0-5 year-olds and their parents/carers will be led by musician and storyteller, Paul Rubenstein. We’ll explore the daily lives of the Foundlings and what it was like to live at the Foundling Hospital through sensory activities, music making and storytelling.

Our team will be happy to answer any questions you have about this event. Just drop us an email at learning@foundlingmuseum.org.uk or give us a call on 020 7841 3600.

The session will start at 1:15pm and run for one hour. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
