About this event

  • 70 days 1 hour

Due to overwhelming demand, Cuppa 'n' Create makes a triumphant return following its immensely successful debut in 2023.


Join us for Cuppa 'n' Create, a series of 9 FREE photography, craft and digital art sessions for those in our community who have been touched by cancer.

These engaging sessions provide an opportunity to explore various creative activities but also to foster new connections in a relaxed, intimate group setting. Join us for a blend of artistic exploration and socialising with professional tutors guiding you every step of the way! As well as our digital art tutors, we will have a cancer support worker from Halton Cancer Support Group present in the sessions.

Topics we’ll cover in this course:

  • Photography
  • Digital Art
  • Crafting

You do not need to have tried any of the topics before. The Cuppa ‘n’ Create tutors have designed activities that are fun for beginners and have plenty of tips and tricks to help you develop your creative skills.
