Relaxed Concerts for Families

We’re so excited to launch a short series of relaxed concerts, designed for families with young children, in Penrith in March. Lots of people we’ve talked to have said they’d like more family-friendly daytime events and we’re delighted that our FamilyJam funding allows us provide these very relaxed performances throughout March 2025. We hope you can join us! All of these relaxed concerts will be hosted at BlueJam Arts Space (Mostyn Hall, Friargate, Penrith, CA11 7XR).

All concerts are free but booking is essential – please email Sara on sarabarnard@bluejamarts.org to book a place. All ages are welcome, though these concerts are particularly designed for under 8s and their grown ups. Refreshments will be provided.


Family Jam has been supported by the UK Government via Westmorland and Furness Council, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Rural England Prosperity Fund
