Run your own Art session

With dedicated Art studios, why not unleash creativity and bring the outdoors inside for an Art session? Walk around the grounds, collect artefacts and natural resources to inspire a 2D or 3D piece of art or create a shared memory book to reflect on your visit to Conway Centres.

Supporting mental health and wellbeing…

Whether you deliver problem solving or team building activities to strengthen bonds, run a yoga or a meditation session in the great outdoors or provide wellbeing through the arts – young people will learn coping strategies and useful tools they can take home to support them during future challenges.
