Flourish: Free Family Art Workshops in Wembley this May half-term holiday – Fill in form
Flourish sessions are all about play, discovery and quality time together. No experience is needed, bring your imagination and enjoy trying something new in a welcoming space for family creativity.
Flourish is a creative programme suitable for primary-aged children. A parent or carer must accompany their child/ren and take part in the activities. We prioritise families living in HA0 postcodes. Places are limited, and booking is essential.
