Looking for something creative, social or inspiring to get involved in?

Our adult events and workshops offer a wide range of activities designed to help you learn new skills, stay active and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly environment.

From craft workshops and creative writing to dance classes, book clubs and more, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re trying something new or returning to a favourite hobby.

What’s on offer:

  • Creative workshops – including crafts, art and hands-on making
  • Dance and movement classes – for all abilities and experience levels
  • Book clubs – share ideas, stories and conversations
  • Creative writing sessions – explore words, storytelling and self-expression
  • Wellbeing-focused activities – designed to support confidence, connection and enjoyment

No previous experience is needed for most activities, and many sessions are suitable for beginners. Our workshops are led by welcoming tutors and facilitators who create supportive spaces where everyone can take part at their own pace.

More than just an activity

Taking part in our adult events is about more than learning something new — it’s also a chance to meet new people, build confidence and make time for yourself.
