Sing and Sign baby signing classes at The Oval Bandstand
Sing and Sign Outdoors at The Oval – Led by Hannah
Join us at The Oval Bandstand & Lawns in Margate for a special outdoor Sing and Sign session with the wonderful Hannah from Sing and Sign East Kent.
Sing and Sign’s award-winning baby signing and communication classes have supported families across East Kent, including Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Sandwich and Deal. Through simple signs, music and play, babies and toddlers learn to communicate before speech, creating those magical moments when your little one can tell you what they need.
Hannah first discovered Sing and Sign in 2019 when looking for something to enjoy with her own baby. Seeing the benefits first-hand inspired her to begin teaching in 2022, and she has since supported many young families across the region. Alongside the much-loved Jessie Cat, she brings warmth, fun and reassurance to every session.
This outdoor session at The Oval offers a relaxed seaside setting for families to sing, sign and connect in the fresh air.
This is a FREE event and open to all.
If you’re able to, we’ll be collecting optional cash donations on the day (pay what you can), with every penny supporting the local baby bank charity Mama to Mama.
Food, Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available for purchase from The Oval café and concessions.
Come along, sing with Jessie Cat, meet other local families and enjoy a joyful morning by the sea.
