Using music as therapy is said to reduce anxiety and the physical effects of stress, reduce depression, and helps to reduce symptoms of psychological disorders. It is a means of empowering and inspiring children and young people who have a passion for music and education, participants will work as part of a group to understand the key aspects of song writing and musical performance. They will have an in-depth look at beats, bars & phrases and have the opportunity of live sound recording.

Pop-up elements add an exciting new dimension to any book, and in this workshop, children can tell their story, their way, expressing their thoughts and feelings in a fun way. This will support the development of their literacy and empower them in the art of storytelling whilst making sense of the world around them. 

Nothing beats the glow on their faces when they create something with their own two hands! We have many child-friendly woodworking projects that promise oodles of fun and heaps of skill-building including a bug hotel, birdhouse, picture frame, and puzzle.

Our fantastic child-friendly cupcake decorating workshops are mentally stimulating and will teach children and young people some brilliant skills. They will be guided through an amazing hands-on activity that will make icing seem like a piece of cake. Children will feel relaxed after spending time learning something new and come home with 4 decorated cupcakes.

Crochet for children and young people is fun, educational and provides a new skill with projects that are fun and easy to make, such as a Rainbow Friendship Bracelet, Finger Puppets, or a Butterfly, and can include a Hand Chain Scarf worked with only their hands.

Arts and crafts can be a great way for children to bond with other children and adults, and by engaging in these activities, children develop their eye coordination and learn to think outside the box. They also improve their confidence and creativity whilst having fun exploring and being creative in expressing themselves freely.
