Youth and children

Our range of activities for children and young people is increasing all the time, and most classes are free of charge. If you want to join in, simply turn up and register with the teacher at the start of the session.

Why not take a look at our short film (also linked from the picture on this page) made by children who come along to our after school clubs? It shows how they can have fun and learn new skills at the same time, in a friendly and welcoming environment.
