A cappella music performance for all ages.This is a free drop-in event. Just turn up!
Lula Bye Bye is a collective of mums, dads, caregivers and their babies who come together each week in Margate to experience the joys of singing together. The group will be singing a mixture of folk songs, gospel and lullabies from around the world, all a cappella, with beautiful harmonies and beautiful babies in tow. Come along to the Ellington Park bandstand to soak up some lovely sounds and get a taste for this parent-and-baby group with a difference.

Ellington Park Bandstand will be filled with merriment and the power of women from 12noon-4pm on Saturday 11 March, so come and hang out for all the performances! There will be toddler singing workshops, interactive hula hooping, powerful dance performances, as well as a family rave, all hosted by Screaming Alleys Katie McGarry.
