Have you ever wanted to play a musical instrument? Bring your family and friends to try the trumpet, discover the drums or play the piano and fill the Barbican with sound.

The Barbican is offering you and your family to come Have A Go with our music instrument workshops. If you have ever wanted to try Folk, Classical or even Rock, come and take part in one of our many music workshops.
Why just play instruments when you can make your own. Drop in and join renowned architects Jonathan Pugh and Douglas Murphy in Percussion Buffet and assemble your own set of drums. Why not make a whole orchestra and take part in the String Making and Wind Making too!
Don’t miss the music making installation in the Barbican Foyers, Play Me, designed by musician and artist Jo Green. With so much to discover make sure you leave plenty of time to experience it all. Don’t rush home, finish off your day of creativity and head to the Barbican Hall for Play-A-Long. Watch trained musicians play along to silent film You’re Damn Tootin, then play -a -long yourself, you could even use the instrument you’ve made!
