I did a Basic Principles of Drawing for Beginners course here with Angela, and it was cracking. Not only did I learn a lot, it has really helped me to get motivated to draw more. Angela is very friendly and helpful, and she is great at communicating info in a way that makes it easy to digest. She was also always keen to offer advice and guidance. It was a very practical course, and we covered a lot of ground in terms of different kinds of drawing, which has helped me work out which I enjoy doing most as well as which things I seem to have more of a knack for than others. The course was also very relaxing, and it was carried out in a way that enabled us to learn from one another at times too, which was interesting. I’d highly recommend the course, and think that it’s very good value too.

I love how this centre has so many varied activities and events. We always visit when heading to the park and like to browse the latest art exhibitions. They also have a cinema, which shows some unusual movies plus a bar area and cafe. The best thing here is all of the classes and courses. You can book in to so many different things, in the past I’ve done jewellery making and clay sculpture amongst others and always found the courses informative and fun. We also have visited for theatre events both indoors and outdoors too, it’s a lovely hub to explore and they also just craft fairs here too.

This is an arts centre so it has art work on display, shows / plays going on. Has a cinema inside to go watch films. Theres also a bar and cafe serving warm, cold and alcoholic beverages. Same with the food. Has disabled accessible entrances, lifts and toilets along with toilets available to the public
