The Corn Exchange Ageing Creatively New Activity

The Corn Exchange’s Ageing Creatively Programme is forever growing and this Autumn we are venturing new activity in Burghfield and Mortimer.

There are so many varied workshops and classes for you to get stuck into!

There is something for everyone – you don’t need any experience or specific skills, everybody is welcome!

Or get in touch with your creative side and develop your skills even further.

There are many more varied workshops throughout the week at the Corn Exchange and our Learning Centre and don’t forget to pop in to the Corn Exchange on Thursday and join us for a coffee as part of our weekly Coffee Companions session.

A great way to start your week so don’t miss out!

All information is in our brochure and on our website, but if you would like to find out more about what we have on offer across West Berkshire, or if you have an idea for a session and would like to discuss it further, please email: Eliza Young, Ageing Creatively Rural Agent, elizay@cornexchangenew.co.uk
