What's On - Art Classes and Events in September 2025
Cooler days, darker evenings, let’s get you booked in for some art & craft activities to wind down after the summer!

Workshops for Adults
We always feel a bit rejuvinated when September comes around!
We have two additions in the walking tour department - Carla Hodgson relaunches Bangor Street Art Tours with a new meeting point at the train station. Jenni Robinson leads the inaugural sketch meet of Bangor Sketch Club - her old sketching classes reformatted in to a user-friendly membership, with visiting artist tickets available too.
Heather connects to culture with the Celtic Wheel of the Year inspired crafts, while life drawing provides a session for all abilities, whether relaxation or technical practice.
Oonagh returns with mindful adults art journalling, while Magdalena’s oil painting provides a relaxing guided session.
Gabriela’s jewellery classes remain popular both with the Jewellery Social on a Friday, and longer themed jewellery making class on the Saturday.
Anarchomedy is absolutely not to be missed this month - fresh from their rave reviews at Edinburgh Fringe, we can’t wait to see what’s next for this comedy writing group!
Although these classes are specifically for over 18s, some of our adult class facilitators may accept younger participants by arrangement, with an additional participating guardian, subject to availability and the suitability of the activity. Please get in touch with the facilitator to enquire.
