Six Weeks of Summer Creativity
Throughout the summer holidays, our six-week creative programme gives young people the opportunity to explore different art forms, learn new skills and enjoy creating alongside others in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Each week brings something different, encouraging young people to experiment, express their ideas and grow in confidence — while having plenty of fun along the way.
