Saffron Music Live is delighted to present free concerts for schools in venues across Essex.

Free tickets and travel support for our upcoming concerts!

Fully subsidised for DfE funded schools in Essex, Thurrock and Southend

We are delighted to be able to offer these performances free of charge to Essex, Thurrock and Southend DfE funded schools, thanks to support from Greater Essex Music Hub. To secure tickets, schools will be required to commit to the Saffron Music live terms and conditions, which includes a commitment to pay for tickets in the event of non-attendance or late cancellation without Saffron Music Trust’s prior agreement. Non DfE funded schools and schools outside Greater Essex may request tickets which will be allocated at Saffron Music Trust’s discretion and invoiced at a cost of £3 per student.

Travel support available for DfE funded schools in Essex.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters we are able to offer a limited number of grants of £250 to Essex, Thurrock and Southend DfE funded schools to support travel costs incurred in attending a Saffron Music Live event. If you wish to apply for this please complete the coach fund section on the Ticket request forms.
