Active Arts is a programme that offers art, dance, acting and public speaking workshops and classes led by professional facilitators for members of the community aged 60+. 

From life drawing to swing dance or public speaking for confidence, these workshops are here for older people in our community to make connections, be creative and have fun! All workshops are low cost, with adjustments made for accessibility.
