I’m glad you found me and my guitar. I’m Esther, and I’d like to introduce you to wonderful songs for your family to sing and move to together. I’ve been making music with Bedminster’s toddlers for twenty years and love meeting families of all shapes and sizes, both in Bedminster and Brislington.
Come and experience it in person at my Rhymetime music sessions for toddlers and babies in Bristol. If you like singing along with other families, and having fun with your little one, this is for you! I run Rhymetime for under 5s, and a Singing in Harmony group for adults who learn by ear and want to sing a range of music. All abilities welcome!
If you live too far away to come along in person, listen on Spotify or on any other streaming platform.
Join in the fun!
My sessions are at Bedminster Methodist Church Hall and St Cuthbert’s Church in Brislington.
My Bedminster groups are on Mondays at 10am for toddlers, and 10.45am for babies.
In Brislington I run one mixed-aged session at 10am on Tuesdays. This session is pausing for the summer, restarting on Tuesday 16th September.
Rhymetime in Bedminster continues throughout the summer and beyond, including on August Bank Holiday Monday. However, I am going to take a break when the school term starts, so there won’t be a session on Monday 8th and Monday 15th September.
If there are ever any last minute changes, I’ll let everyone know about those through my mailing list, so please sign up.
Where to find me
MONDAYS: Bedminster Rhymetime sessions for toddlers and babies are in Bedminster Methodist Church, Bristol, in the main part of the church. There’s lots of room to bring your buggies in and run, jump and dance.
TUESDAYS: In Brislington, the sessions are in the crypt of St Cuthbert’s Church, which (despite the name) is a light space on the ground floor of the building. You come in through the entrance on Sandy Park Rd.
What we do
In both venues, we’ll start the session by sitting on the floor (grab a chair if you’d prefer) and sing lots of familiar songs, along with modern classics. At some point we’ll get up and move around, but it’s a relaxed session and it’s fine if your child doesn’t want to sit still. Find out more.
Good to know
All sessions are drop-in and you can pay with cash or card. It’s £6 per family in Bedminster and £5 in Brislington and you are welcome to bring supporting adults if you want to: there’s no extra charge to bring twins, siblings, grandparents or anyone else in your family.
