A free national event aimed at encouraging people to start making music comes to Tonbridge and Bromley this weekend.

Supported by Jools Holland, and run by charity Music for All, the Learn to Play Day on Saturday, March 23, and Sunday, March 24, the day will see venues across the country offering free music lessons.

Patron Jools said: “It’s a pleasure to be able to share the joy of music and this special day allows thousands to get involved as venues all over the country offer music lessons for free.”

Venues involved in Kent include the Music Station in Tonbridge, the 17th Tonbridge Scout & Guide HQ in Lamberts Yard, Tonbridge and the Music Hub & Bromley Youth Music Trust in Bromley.
