TAKE PART AT THE POUND
We have a variety of workshops and opportunities to take part - ranging from the free Crafty Saturdays, to workshop Wednesdays in the school holidays and our very own ActNoW Youth Theatre which has three terms a year on Saturdays (term time only).
ACTNOW YOUTH THEATRE
ActNoW youth theatre offers young people the opportunity to discover how to act and learn new theatre skills through creating and rehearsing new theatre. They will learn many skills including how to devise and improvise, use storytelling, role play and drama games to encourage them to be confident and develop skills while having fun!
DANCING THROUGH TIME
Join Kara as she guides you through these fun sessions, taking you through gentle chair based routines to help keep you fit and healthy.  As well as promoting the mobilisation of joints and building strength, these weekly classes are a great chance to meet new friends, have a giggle and enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit.
