Deal Ukulele Club, Kent
DUCKS
About
Deal Ukulele Club, Kent (DUCKs) is a friendly community group of musicians of varying ages, who meet every Friday Morning (10am - 12 noon) at The Landmark Centre in the seaside town of Deal. The aim of the group is to have fun, enjoy music and make new friends. We also use our music to support other local community groups and charities.
You don't have to be able to read music, sing like a professional, or be a pop star to join us. Just come along and join in with the fun and laughter. Holidaying ukulele players are also very welcome to join us.
What we do
Ukulele Club on Friday Mornings 10am -12 noon
Join us on Friday mornings at The Landmark Centre on Deal High Street, for two hours of music, fun and friendship.
The group is very informal, and all abilities are welcome to come along. If you are on holiday in Deal, and you are a budding ukulele musician you are welcome to join us too.
The cost per session is £2, which just helps us to pay for the hire of the hall. So grab your ukulele, download your songbook, and come along and join us!

Find us at The Landmark Centre on Deal High Street
Deal Ukulele Club is held in the Richardson Hall at The Landmark Centre in Deal every Friday morning (10am-12 noon).
The Landmark Centre is a beautiful old building which is currently being revitalised by an incredibly dedicated team of trustees, volunteers and staff. It also has a cafe and a bar where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.
We do everything we can to support their efforts and often donate our profits from any gigs to their restoration fund.
If you would like to learn more about the project, or help out by hiring a hall for an event, volunteering your skills or something else, click the link below to learn more about the project.
