*Subject to availability
Booking are now closed.
No under 18s are permitted. Guests must pre-book their places – it will not be possible to turn up without a ticket on the day. Further detailed information will be provided to guests in advance of the event. Financial support is available to support travel or staff costs for disabled guests.
If you have any questions, please contact orchlab@lpo.org.uk or call 07793 837357.
OrchLab Open Web Training
This is a free, hands-on training session on Zoom for staff, carers, volunteers or family members (18+) who work with disabled adults.
During the training, you will be guided through a variety of online music activities on the OrchLab website and discover top tips, musical activities and fun games that you can take back and explore with the clients in your care settings.
No prior musical or technology expertise is needed, just enthusiasm!
Our next Open Web Training session will take place in Spring 2026.
These events are free to attend. However, we understand that organisations may find travel or staff costs a barrier to attending. For each OrchLab Open Event, financial support towards travel (when applicable) and staff expenses is available for organisations to apply for. More details about this are available on our Financial Support page.
