The Beacon – Cliffe Castle Park

Art & Song

Emily Parkin and Stephanie Warrender

Imaginative sessions that combined music and drawing.

A series of free, family-friendly drop-in sessions inside The Beacon at Cliffe Castle as a part of Our Patch.

Local artist Emily Parkin joined us to facilitate an inspiring day of creative fun at The Beacon! As a part of this event, artist Stephanie Warrender led two imaginative ‘song-draw’ sessions for children aged 3-8 that combined music and drawing into one unique experience.
