Rough Music Rhyme Time

Percussionist-led Rhyme Time session with Peter Baxter

Summer Reading Challenge 2026: Read to the Beat!

A participatory session connecting the radical tradition of Rough Music — street protest through noise, rhythm and improvised sound — with the familiar world of nursery rhymes. Inspired by E.P. Thompson's essay Rough Music Reconsidered, the work of Jack Zipes on nursery rhyme standards, and the Bonfire Society parades at the annual Bonfire Night in Lewes.

Ages 0-5. Spaces limited. No booking required.
