Skylark Sessions

Dive into different art forms with us through six-week long series with renowned artists

Open to anyone 50+ who lives locally to the Southbank Centre and is looking to connect and support their well-being through creativity and community, our Skylark Sessions are free to attend.

Each series of Skylark Sessions focuses on a particular art form. For example, the first series was titled New Threads and saw participants work with renowned textile artists to explore ways to work with embroidery and crafts of making and weaving. The activities within each series are adjusted to accommodate all participants’ experience and access needs and all the materials you’ll need, and refreshments, are provided.

Skylark Sessions are generously supported by City Bridge Foundation.

Places in our Skylark Sessions are limited and are made by way of a referral to our Arts & Wellbeing team. Contact the team to find out more.
