About

Our Youth Arts Club is a weekly creative space for young people aged 11–15 to explore, make, and express themselves in a fun and supportive environment. While we’ll be contributing to the Ragtag Parade by working on exciting collaborative elements—like costumes, props and giant puppets—Youth Arts Club is about much more than just the parade. 

Throughout the year, participants will get to experiment with a wide range of creative processes, from sculpture and painting to textiles, illustration, performance and more. It’s a space to try new things, build confidence, meet new people and grow creatively. And yes—toasties are always provided, because no one makes good art when they’re hangry.

This project has been funded by the Arts Council, and is part of Ragtag Parade

Please note: As these sessions will now be run in town, we will not be providing transport.

WHEN

Thursdays, 4 – 6pm (term time only). Please book in a half-term block. You are welcome to book a taster session to try out the club.

COST

These sessions are free to attend, funded by the Arts Council and Awards for All. If you would like to make a contribution to support the sessions, we would be very appreciative.
