Beat Retreat

Beat Retreat: Free Drumming Music Therapy Group for Carers in Braintree District

We’re excited to announce Beat Retreat – a free 10-week drumming Music Therapy programme designed specifically for carers living in the Braintree district. Delivered by Ace Music Therapy CIC and funded by Essex County Council, this group offers carers a chance to take time for themselves, connect with others, and experience the therapeutic benefits of rhythm and music.

Why Drumming?

Drumming is one of the oldest forms of music-making and has been shown to support both emotional and physical wellbeing. Many participants report benefits such as:

  • Improved mood and emotional release

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Lowered blood pressure

  • Relief from tension and pain

  • Boosted immune function

This group offers a warm, supportive environment where carers can step away from daily responsibilities, unwind, and enjoy the shared energy of group music-making—no musical experience needed.

Session Details

When: Wednesdays, running until 3rd December
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Where: Earls Colne Village Hall, 12 York Rd, Earls Colne, Colchester CO6 2RN
Cost: Free of charge
