Welcome to Creative Socials
Over the past couple of months our Creative Social groups have been working with musician Kimberley Moore to write a ‘welcome’ song together.
Participants from our six groups across the county – Attleborough, Dereham, Great Massingham, Hunstanton (Hunst’on), King’s Lynn and Thetford – have collaborated, each contributing a few verses to introduce their group.
Our groups learnt the Creative Social Song framework that Kimberley wrote, adapting it and adding lines to introduce their group, followed by a recording of their song. One theme that pops up again and again in the song is that anyone can join in – and that the cup of tea, cake and chat are all part of the fun too.
Listen to the song below, but don’t blame us if it gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

Welcome to Creative Socials
Welcome to Hun’ston
Welcome to Creative Socials
It’s good to have you in the room.
We’re here to make some music
We’re here to make some noise – Oi!
You can sing along
If you want to, it’s your choice – Yeah!

Join in!
Creative Socials are monthly creative workshops for people aged 50+, all led by professional artists. Activities change month-to-month and range from dancing and music, to arts, crafts and creative writing. The sessions are welcoming and inclusive, for anyone who wants to try something new, meet people and have a cup of tea and a slice of cake (of course!).
What’s Next?
In April and May, Glass House Dance will be joining us for friendly, welcoming dance workshops. Come dance, chat, and share your favourite dance floor moments — the songs you loved, the places you danced, and the people you shared them with.
Together, we’ll create a Dancing Map of Norfolk, built from the stories of local communities. No experience needed — just curiosity, conversations, and a love of moving (or listening).
