Chatty Café Attendees Try DJing and Graffiti Art in Prescot
Powered by Hip Hop has been awarded funding from the Centre for Ageing Better to deliver a creative community session in Prescot as part of Age Without Limits Day 2026.
Working alongside attendees from the Chatty Café Scheme, the session will invite local residents to explore DJing, graffiti art, music and conversation in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
The Prescot DJ workshop and community graffiti art session will take place on Wednesday 10 June 2026 and forms part of the national Age Without Limits Day campaign, which encourages communities across the UK to challenge ageism and rethink assumptions around ageing.
Powered by Hip Hop CIC is best known for delivering Breaking, Hip Hop and creative arts programmes with children and young people across the region. However, this project aims to bring those same creative principles into a different community setting.
The session has been designed around conversation, curiosity and participation rather than performance or technical skill.
“Music, Creativity and Community Connection”
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Try beginner DJ skills
- Explore graffiti art activities
- Share favourite songs and musical memories
- Spend time chatting over tea and refreshments
- Connect with other local residents in a welcoming social environment
Participants are encouraged to bring along songs that hold memories or personal meaning to them, which will then be mixed live during the session by the PBHH team
Prescot is Challenging Assumptions Around Ageing
The project aims to challenge assumptions that creativity, music culture and learning new skills are only for younger generations.
Through music, conversation and hands-on creative activities, the event hopes to create positive experiences that encourage confidence, curiosity and community connection.
Rather than focusing on age itself, the session focuses on bringing people together through shared experiences and creativity.
Hip Hop culture has always been rooted in community, self-expression and participation, and PBHH hopes the event will introduce those ideas in an accessible and welcoming way.
The Prescot session will take place within a relaxed Chatty Café environment and aims to create a welcoming space where local residents can meet new people, enjoy music and try something creative in a low-pressure setting.
Tom Glynn, Director of Powered by Hip Hop CIC, said:
“Music has a unique way of bringing people together. We wanted to create something relaxed and welcoming where people could share memories, try something creative and enjoy good conversation in a supportive environment“
Part of a National Campaign
Age Without Limits Day is organised by the Centre for Ageing Better and supports activities across the country that help challenge stereotypes and assumptions linked to ageing.
Powered by Hip Hop CIC was awarded a microgrant through the programme to help deliver the Prescot session.
The organisation would also like to thank the Shakespeare North Playhouse and the Chatty Café attendees for supporting the community event.
The project also highlights how creative community activities in Prescot can help bring people together across different generations through music, conversation and shared experiences.
