We are continuing to hold our free online workshops throughout 2021!  We are hosting a range of fun online activities including: quizzes, sound, singing, drama and much more after school, at weekends and in school holidays. You are very welcome to join in as much or as little as you like! We know that COVID 19 and all the lockdowns can make the world feel a little strange, so why not use this time to learn new skills, have lots of fun and meet new people.
