Musical Monuments at Bolton Priory


October half term sees the return of Accessible Arts & Media’s pioneering Musical Monuments project – a free music project which gets 8-12 year olds with and without disabilities working together through music.


Each Musical Monuments project focuses on a different North Yorkshire Monument, and in October 2009 Musical Monuments will be coming to Bolton Priory, in Wharfedale.


This exciting project has only been made possible through generous funding from the Big Lottery Awards for All Programme, Yorkshire and Clydeside Bank, Amicus and North Yorkshire County Council Transforming Short Breaks programme and it is a partnership project between Bolton Priory and Accessible Arts & Media.


The project will run from Monday 26th – Friday 30th October, 10am – 3pm each day. It is open to young people from 8 – 12 years of age who live in and around Bolton Abbey, however the age range can be more flexible for young people with disabilities. It may also be possible to offer some support or help with transport to participants with disabilities, but this is limited so please book this well in advance.


The project will culminate in a unique FREE performance of the group’s new piece at Bolton Priory on Friday 30th October, 1.30pm, where everyone will be welcome – family, friends, visitors and the local community alike.


This is an exceptional experience for young people living in the Bolton Abbey area, but hurry if you’re interested, as places are limited! To find out more about Musical Monuments, or to book a place, contact Accessible Arts & Media on 01904 626 965 / email: info@a-arts-media.org
