What to Expect:
If you’re new to The Studio, you’ll be welcomed and asked to complete a simple registration form. This helps us care for you well and is reviewed annually.
You’ll be shown our help-yourself tea and coffee station, which usually includes biscuits, gluten-free options and oat milk. The session leader will introduce the planned activity and guide you through it — even if you’ve never tried it before. There is also a quiet room available if you need time away from the main space.
The Studio encourages kindness, respect and care for one another at all times.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, our doors open at 9:30am, giving time for a relaxed coffee and chat. The main programme runs from 10:00am–12:00pm.
You are welcome to join in with the planned activity or bring your own craft and simply enjoy being part of a creative, safe and supportive community.
After the session, we share lunch together (bring your own), followed by continued conversation and crafting until it’s time to close.
The Studio is fully accessible with disabled toilets.
There is no car park, just street parking and nearby public car parks which are free of charge.
