Explore is delighted to launch Creative Cafés, a free six-week programme designed to help local adults explore their creativity, connect with others, and improve their well-being in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Led by professional artists Izzy Williamson and Gracie Richmond, participants will take part in weekly sessions where they’ll experiment with different art forms, using inspiration from Explore York’s archive collections and Clifton’s local history.

Each session offers a space to be creative while providing opportunities to meet new people and share ideas over a cup of tea and cake.

No prior experience is necessary—just come along to the workshops and get creative!
