Welcome to Spring at The Brewhouse!

The perfect time to learn something creative, start a new hobby and make new friends. This season we have all your favourite regular sessions plus a few new ones to try out. Aneta joins us for two flamenco classes and Maxine is starting Just a Number, a fabulous dance session for over 55’s. Hunkypunks, our Saturday Circus club for young people begins in January and Youth Jam is now a weekly meet up after a fantastic taster session last term. New workshop leaders join The Brewhouse team to teach you how to print a lampshade, make silver jewellery (perfect Mother’s Day gift!) and weave a willow sculpture. Plus book ahead for family activities in the February half term and Easter holidays, places go quickly so don’t miss out.

See you all soon.
