1:00 pm Pre-concert talk from broadcaster Brian Sibley

1:30 pm Family Concert

Bring your picnic lunch to experience your own ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ at St Marylebone. Following a talk by well-known broadcaster Brian Sibley, enjoy songs and nonsense poems - and join in too! In this family concert, we nod to our local ZSL London Zoo, where A A Milne first saw a bear that inspired his Winnie the Pooh. Gavin Roberts and Amanda Pitt perform pieces from Winnie the Pooh, The Wind in the Willows and works by Edward Lear. They are joined by Esme Patey-Ford who reads to us from A.A. Milne and Kenneth Grahame. From The Yonghy Bonghy Bo, The Owl and the Pussycat, to The more it snows, tiddley-pom. An event for all ages; children should bring along their favourite Pooh-inspired toy!
