Ukulele

If you’ve ever wanted to play the ukulele this group is for you, whatever your skill level. Whether you are a complete beginner, or have a little experience, come and join us. You just need a ukulele and some enthusiasm, but if you don’t have a ukulele, we can lend you one for a trial and give advice on buying your own.

When and where: The group meets at Worsley Road United Reformed Church, Swinton on Fridays from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. Free on-site parking is available and also in Houghton Lane. Bus services 21, 22 and 66 run from Eccles every 15 minutes. Disabled access and toilet are available.

There is a £15 charge on day one to cover room hire for all six sessions. However, if you are a newcomer the first week is free.

You are welcome to join our next group of six sessions:

  • 9th June
