Pen to Paper

Every Thursday 6.30pm to 8.30pm | Free

Come along and join the writers and the yet to write, putting pen to paper to scribe ideas, stories, memoirs and passions in poetry and prose, in story and play, to delight and excite, to entertain and provoke.

Spend the evening giving voice to your imagination.

Led by writer Lenny River you will laugh, discuss, inspire and as Picasso said “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

And why not treat yourself to some refreshments at our café before you head up for the session.

Art for the Curious with Jayne BlacklockArt For the Curious

Every Thursday 10.00am – 12.00pm | Free (Pay What You Decide)

Everyone is born with the ability to draw and paint but sometimes, somewhere along the line, some of us begin to believe that we can’t. This is a series of adult workshops looking at using a range of mediums and techniques to create your own artwork. From pencil, charcoal, soft pastel and paint, you will be guided through how to use each one to explore a range of subjects, giving you confidence and skills to then produce your own work.

Sessions are free but a ‘Pay What You Decide’ donation is welcome towards materials and resources.

Sessions are currently full, but we have a short waiting list for new participants. Please contact us to be added.

Coder Dojo children’s coding sessions

Coder Dojo children’s coding sessions 

First Saturday of the month, 2.00pm – 4.00pm | Free

Code is the language of computers, including those in phones, cars, and even

in lightbulbs! Learning to code is learning to talk to computers in their native language.

Coding and digital creation are invaluable skills these days, and understanding how computers work and how to interact with them will open up lots of opportunities for you.
