The Rig explores the science behind sound with the aim of encouraging musical creativity and rhythmic adventure through the stimulating and thrilling medium of percussion.
The Rig is fully accessible for wheel chair users and children with disabilities and is able to be enjoyed regardless of ability or physical restraints.

Who are they? The Rig is an installation of musical curiosities. What does that mean?! It means they have made six separate structures which each have different musical themes. Devised and led by Amy Kelly and Becky Dell, they are both classically trained musicians and artists. They have built a community, ‘Team Rig’ of other passionate, fun and friendly musicians who love The Rig and love sharing its sonic secrets with you.
What do they do? They bring The Rig, gazebo and team of DBS checked Riggers to Chilled in a Field where families have fun playing the structures, creating music and experimenting with sound.
What will they achieve? Primarily an alternative way to interact with and enjoy music. What’s good about The Rig is that everyone can play it, regardless of musical or physical ability. Whilst The Rig is not specifically an activity for those with disabilities, the team passionately believes in inclusivity and diversity and have therefore designed the structures so they are accessible. They often work in SEND schools and have worked closely with the disability charity Attitude Is Everything to ensure The Rig can be played by all. Aside from having loads of creative fun, The Rig indirectly teaches about sound, science, melody and rhythm whilst bashing things!
