Paul Midgley from Drum Runners is currently working with several groups to bring together one of the biggest street sounds we are going to hear in Basingstoke this year.

Learn some carnival style rhythms and join in with the drumming or giant glowing hula hoops!

We are looking for more children, parents, groups and individuals to take part in what will be a colourful and exciting spectacular. If you cannot take part in the Workshops then bring along pots and pans on the 1st August to join in at 7pm with the rest of the band rehearsing for the Parade.
