This year, KS2 have the fabulous opportunity to join with Tatham Fells Primary School and take part in the Lancaster Big Sing on Wednesday 18th March 2026 from 1pm - 2:15pm at The Ashton Hall, Lancaster (at the back of the Town Hall). Doors open to the audience at 12:30pm. Save the date!
This year's theme is, 'Our Time' reflecting on the past, present and future. Children will take part in a morning rehearsal on the day and will bring a packed lunch to be eaten at the venue before performing in the afternoon. Transport will be arranged by school to take pupils to and from the venue. However, parents are encouraged to come along and watch the performance in the afternoon and are welcome to take children home from the venue at the end of the performance. Tickets come in the form of a Concert Programme and are £5. There is only 1 ticket allocated initially per child. Any extra tickets available will be made know nearer the time. Further details regarding tickets and arrangements for the day will be sent out after February half term.
