Creative Health & Wellbeing

Creating and viewing art is scientifically proven to have a positive impact on both physical and mental health.

The Gallery offers two opportunities per month to connect with art and experience the wellbeing benefits that engaging with art can have. These sessions are open to all and are suitable for those with or without specific access needs. These sessions are dementia-friendly and have a relaxed and supportive nature.
