A drop-in music workshop will provide visitors with an opportunity to get creative and make their own music

The Abbey will also host musical performances throughout the day from volunteers and the University of Exeter Chapel Choir performing in small groups in the chapel

The event is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council through an Impact Accelerator Account Award
