Our Saturday Sessions are a perfect place to start the weekend, with different performances and creative activities for children and their adults each week – all for free. Watch a new performance, make something with artists and come together to create and play with other little performers, makers and creators.

November’s Saturday Session is led by A Line Art. Experience the enchanting world of words and music with acclaimed poet and performer Arji Manuelpillai, joined by jazz guitarist Matt Smith, at a workshop and performance celebrating the words of cookery. Expect poetry, rap, freestyles and sing-along classics.

The day ends with a Ballroom Boogie led by Lyvonne the Don where we encourage everyone to move, dance and shake it out with the people you came with and the friends you’ve made throughout the session.

Lyvonne the Don is a multi-genre DJ, host and entertainer. Her speciality? Curating a unique and welcoming environment, where people can be their most confident and carefree selves. She mixes deep cuts and chart toppers from various genres (Afrobeats, hip-hop and more) to create an unforgettable musical experience.

Every month, we bring together brilliant artists and London’s children to experience top quality work in a playful setting. Saturday Sessions welcomes everyone into the Southbank Centre to make, do and create. Come on down and discover the inner artist in us all.

Alphabet Soup is a Southbank Centre original commission
