Nobody has to join in with anything, including the singing
What happens
Two hours of free play, twenty minutes of songs at the end that plenty of children ignore, and a great deal of tea.
Who comes
About eighteen adults and twenty-five children. Parents, grandparents, childminders, and two dads who were told they would be the only ones.
What it costs
Two pounds including tea and a snack, or nothing. There is a tin and nobody watches it.
