☀️ SUMMER HOLIDAYS ☀️

I’m officially switching off for a few weeks! 🐶 🪴

📅 A few dates for September:

* I’ll be back at The Hut on Monday 7th September
* Most of our regular groups will return the week beginning 14th September
* 🎤🎶 Our Tuesday Music & Rap groups will return on Tuesday 22nd September
