Evening Community Drum Circle at Duncan Place

Drum Circles provide us with the perfect way to have fun, express ourselves, beat stress and connect with our community. In our community drum circle, you will have the opportunity to play drums and percussion with a group. You don’t need any experience, in fact total beginners are best!

Drums and percussion provided (or bring your own).

Adults aged 16+.

You can just turn up on the night with no need to book, and pay in cash or card when you arrive (please arrive in plenty of time to do this), or if you'd rather pay online beforehand, you can purchase a space here on Eventbrite, however please note that Eventbrite add their own fee onto the ticket price.

FROM OCTOBER 2024 THE PRICE WILL CHANGE FROM £2pp TO £3pp.

**Please arrive five minutes beforehand so the drum circle can start on time.**

If you have any questions about booking or the venue, please email [email protected]
