The wet weather we’re having today reminds me of the 2024 version of the Wallington Music Festival, when the fabulous Sing out Sutton were literally ‘Singing in the rain’.

We’re delighted to say that this amazing choir is returning at this year’s FREE event on Saturday 20th June, when they will be performing in the afternoon in the Wallington Library gardens….and sunshine and blue skies have been ordered.

Why not join us…we begin upstairs in the library at 11am, then continue in the library gardens from noon until 7pm.

We are so grateful to our local sponsors - Carpenter & Co Solicitors and BDS Ltd.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to the unprecidented heat, please ensure that your child/adult has labelled suncream (applied thoroughly before session), cool and light coloured clothing (plenty of spares), and lots of fluids with them before they attend this week.

We will do our best to ensure everyone stays hydrated and gets the oportunity to stay out of the sun (with some added water play for good measure 🤩)

Thank you for your support and hope you are enjoying the sun!

Sutton Mencap Team 🥰
