Get Involved
Welcome to our Learning and Participation programme! Here you’ll find information about a variety of courses and classes that take place at our Learning Centre and beyond. There is activity for everyone, whether you are a toddler exploring your senses, a young person developing creative skills, or an adult looking to pursue a passion or find connection. We also have a growing schools engagement programme, as well as a programme of work specifically for those aged 55+ - Ageing Creatively.
We are very proud that our work also takes place outside of the walls of the main buildings, with projects happening across West Berkshire, in schools, care settings, family hubs, community centres and libraries, to name a few. We are also committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our local community through the arts, collaborating with local partners, social prescribers and family support workers.
Enjoy exploring our activity below. We hope to see you soon!
