Families gather round to enjoy this unique, time travelling, light hearted concert that was made for and with young people, championing the simple act of helping one another, inspired by stories from Union Chapel’s 200+ year archive. Perfect for toddlers to children up to 9!
Part of Union Chapel’s cross-arts heritage-inspired, community co-produced Sunday School Stories Project, this free and one-off performance took place on 16 February 2026 and features songs co-created with Year 2 students from Ambler Primary School and Children’s Centre.
Mrs H Sings is a much loved, award-winning act for children that brings music and joy to communities up and down the country. With the use of puppetry, song, dance and interactive mischief, the six-piece band take families on a light hearted, life affirming show celebrating the simple act of helping one another.
“Mrs H is a legend and it was wonderful to see her and the band perform on a bigger scale – it was so fun, full of good vibes. It was very special!”
“The band are incredible – and the smoke coming out of the hat for the train song was talked about on the bus home. It was a very warm and welcoming space.”
“We are big fans of Mrs H and the show was super interactive.”
“Union Chapel is a lovely venue and it was great to bring the grandchildren to a place we love and visit often.”
Inspiration for this show has been taken from articles from the late Victorian Union Chapel Magazine that featured a fictional clock character in the Union Chapel tower that passes comment on the life and times going on below and all around, including inside the church itself.
Alongside an actor and her band, Mrs H Sings takes families back in time, using music old and new, whilst celebrating the sentiments of care, kindness and community Union Chapel was built on.
“Mrs H Sings are delighted at being part of the Sunday School restoration project. Having performed in the borough for over 20 years it is a joy to be back and celebrating the Union Chapel. So far our work has been to engage with local school children to help write material for our one off show in Feb. It has been such a joy to have an opportunity to write new material and the songs are already being played and learnt in to our weekly sessions.” – Mrs H Singalong Band
This work was made possible thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Players.
