Take a breath, grab a pencil (or something messier), and get creative with inspiration from in the beautiful walled garden of Scaplen’s Court.

Each gentle, supportive session is inspired by nature and packed with playful ways to explore your creativity through a range of different hands-on activities – this workshop is recommended for those aged over 11 years, but no experience is needed.

• Come to one or come to all four sessions
• Contribute to a mini art installation
• Beginners very welcome
• Garden vibes guaranteed
• Creativity isn’t just for artists; it’s for everyone.

CoCreate is led by Anna, Gemma, and Rosie: three brilliant humans creating a nurturing space for joy, expression, and a bit of magic.

Come as you are. Leave with an inspired mind and perhaps something you made.

Taking place on Tuesdays 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th August
