Body Well Sessions
Unleash your inner artist at our Body Well sessions! Once a month, we’re getting creative with local artist Georgina.
It’s a chance to splash some paint around, have a laugh, and tap into your artistic side – no experience needed!
While we’re at it, we’ll chat about getting to know our bodies better and the importance of early cancer screening. It’s a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where you can express yourself and learn something new at the same time.
Open to all ladies 18 and over, these sessions are a great way to unwind and meet new people. We’ll provide all the art supplies and refreshments to keep your creative juices flowing.
Body Well is funded by the Cancer Alliance. There’s a suggested donation of £5.

Monthly Supper Club
Fancy a friendly get-together over a warm bowl of soup? Our Supper Club for women over 18 years old is just the ticket!
Every month, we’re serving up a delicious soup supper and a hearty helping of good company.
It’s the perfect chance to meet new faces, have a natter, and shake off the stresses of daily life. We’ve got brilliant talks and activities lined up to leave you feeling inspired and ready to take on anything.
The best bit? It won’t cost you a penny! Our Supper Club is free to attend. We do gratefully welcome donations, but there’s no pressure.
Just remember to book your spot in advance so we know how many bowls to fill. So go on, treat yourself to an evening of good food and great conversation.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

Guided Evening Walks for Women
Join us for our monthly evening walks! We’re lacing up our boots and braving the chilly weather to keep active and social during the darker months.
Our friendly walk leaders will guide you on a crisp evening stroll, perfect for clearing your head and having a good natter.
After we’ve stretched our legs and filled our lungs with fresh air, we’ll head back to The Studio on Lacey Street for a well-deserved warm drink and some tasty refreshments. It’s the perfect way to round off the evening and carry on the conversation in cosy surroundings.
Best of all, it’s completely free!
