About this event

1.30pm-2.30pm, Free Event

Join Musinc for our annual festive fun-filled Schools Big Gig, delivered by the creative education specialists, Apollo Arts!

The gig includes a magical singalong with a live band and loads of musical Christmas games. This live musical experience not only gets your young people singing, dancing and full of festive cheer in a friendly, fun, and safe environment, it’s also been designed with the national curriculum for music in mind… so it’s the perfect opportunity to tick that off your Christmas list too!

You don’t want to miss this – it really is ‘the most wonderful time of the year’!

Open to primary aged children in school groups or home educated families. We encourage children from Yr 2 – Yr 6 to attend this event as we deem the noise and darkness could be a little overwhelming for those that are younger (Yr 1 and below).’ See also: Family Big Gig on 3^rd December, 6pm!

Access information

Our schools event will have the following features:

• During the event, the band will invite the audience to stand if they can, dance and sing along. Young people can choose to opt in or out and there’ll always be a quiet space available if the event becomes overwhelming
• A limited number of ear defenders are available from the Box Office – by the main entrance on Albert Street. See us as early as possible to secure a pair.
• Our spaces have consistent lighting, with low level auditorium lights on throughout

Pushchairs and prams

Due to Middlesbrough Town Hall’s fire regulation policies pushchairs, prams & car seats must be left in our dedicated ‘buggy parking’ zone on the carriageway and cannot be taken into any of the event spaces. Unfortunately, we cannot take responsibility for items left there, but we do our best to keep an eye on them.
