Our Creative Connections Project offers free, weekly creative wellbeing sessions across rural Nidderdale, providing welcoming spaces to explore creativity, improve wellbeing, and connect with others in your community! The two-year project is funded by National Lottery players, helping us bring accessible sessions to people in our rural community.
What to Expect:
Each session is relaxed, inclusive, and fun! You may choose to use the seasonal theme to inspire you, do your own thing, or have a go at one of the creative activities. Over each term there will be a chance to have a go with a variety of creative activities, which may include:
-
Painting, drawing, and collage
-
Creative writing, journaling, and scriptwriting
-
Crafts
-
Drama
-
And lots more!
Work at your own pace, explore different materials, and enjoy a supportive space to relax and create. Plus enjoy a cuppa and a natter with other lovely local folk!
Who Can Join?
Our morning session is tailored towards adults and our afternoon session more family-focused where children are welcome.
How to Join:
No need to book - just turn up!
Rest assured, you will receive a friendly welcome!
