Programme

Enjoy a magical journey through the wooded grounds of the Audley End Enchanted Railway. Our exclusive Festival train departs at 2.00pm to take you to a secret glade where you will disembark and be swept up in music by the fantastic OperaBeatz! duo. Expect maximum participation for all ages! There will be refreshments and facilities, and you can remain on site until 5.00pm to enjoy the magical environment.

Super soprano Samantha Hay and beatboxer extraordinaire Andy Frost will combine to teach us some easy beatbox sounds, along with fun singing and body percussion. Put these together and we’ll have a performance of upbeat song together at the end of the session.
