What it’s like
Drawing, painting and mixed media classes for children, with a Junior Academy for the 7 to 12 crowd.
This is a proper art class setup rather than a paint-a-plate afternoon out. Kids work through drawing, painting and mixed media, and the site lists after-school sessions alongside a Junior Academy pitched at 7 to 12 year olds, so there's an actual structure to what they're learning rather than a one-off session.
The age floor is 7, which rules it out as a toddler or family drop-in and makes it more of a thing to sign a child up to on a regular basis, in the same way you'd book in for swimming lessons or a Saturday football club. If your seven-year-old is the type who's always drawing on the back of homework sheets, this is aimed squarely at them.
Because it's structured around classes rather than open sessions, it suits a child who wants to stick with something over weeks rather than a family looking for an hour to fill on a rainy Tuesday. The after-school slot is worth knowing about if you're trying to fit it around the school run.

Plan your visit
What age is it for?
The Junior Academy is aimed at children age 7 to 12. It's not set up for younger kids.
What do the classes actually involve?
Drawing, painting and mixed media work, taught as proper classes rather than a single craft activity.
Is it a one-off session or an ongoing thing?
It reads as an ongoing course, the Junior Academy and after-school sessions, so it suits a child coming back regularly rather than a single visit.
Do you need to book ahead?
There's no walk-in drop-in described here, so treat it as something you sign up to rather than turn up to on the day.
