Music sits at the heart of Persian celebration, especially Nowruz, the festival marking Persian New Year. In this joyful workshop, a singer–performer will teach simple, celebratory Persian songs with live accompaniment on a traditional instrument, using call-and-response, clapping patterns and playful warm-ups.

Children will learn short lyrics (with easy transliteration and English meanings) and discover how songs carry stories, values and seasonal traditions.

Parents and carers will gain confidence supporting bilingual/multicultural learning at home and understanding the cultural context behind the music.

Designed to bridge cultures, the workshop will introduce non-Iranian children to Persian heritage in an accessible way, while offering a proud point of connection for Persian-origin children born and raised in the UK. All are welcome, no singing experience needed. Lyric sheets will be provided.

Useful information:

Family Fun workshops are designed for primary school children, age 5-10 years old.
Children must be accompanied by an adult during the workshop - workshops are not drop-off and the accompanying adult must stay with their child.
To avoid disappointment, please do not book tickets for children / siblings under 5, as they will not be able to participate. Additional family members accompanying younger siblings are welcome to enjoy our café and garden during the workshop.
The workshops will take place in the Leighton House Learning Centre and might include access to the historic house.
Accompanying adults (1x per child) come for free and admission to the historic house is included in the ticket price.
