I highly recommend these Art Socials! 🌟💛

Saturday Art Socials start this Saturday October 25th at 12pm!

Thanks to funding from Cllr Martyn Madeley of we are able to offer Saturday Art Socials - an opportunity to join other creatives and just simply sit and create! You can start something new in any medium, continue a piece of work, or just hang out and learn from others.

The change of seasons in autumn can be tough when the days get darker and we want to retreat so we are offering people in the community the opportunity to boost mental health and reduce social isolation.

Come along and be inspired and express your creativity!

Starting at 12 to 4pm. FREE for everyone.

Some materials available but please bring your own wherever possible!

Hot drinks available for £1 each.
