Culture & Company

Monthly Arts and Social Club for people over 50. This club is free to attend, however booking is required. 

Join us for a relaxed and welcoming Saturday morning at Culture & Company - a free monthly club for over-50s that’s all about connection, creativity, and community. 

Enjoy teas, coffees, board games, and craft materials, alongside a changing mix of activities designed to spark conversation, movement, and imagination. Whether you're here to meet new people, explore shared interests, or simply unwind, this is your space to get involved, keep active, and shape the club together.  

Come as you are, bring your ideas, and join the fun.  

Teas, coffees, biscuits and materials provided. If you have questions, please do get in touch with the Guildhall Engagement team. 

9 May: Creative Mending & Textile Making with Ally Goff

Join us for a creative mending and textile making session with community artist Ally Goff. Together, we’ll repair holes in well-loved garments, sew on buttons, or create something entirely new using scrap fabrics, yarns, and other materials. Bring along an item you’d like to mend (hand-stitching only), or feel free to come empty-handed and explore making some textile art from scratch. No previous experience is needed, and all materials will be provided.

13 June: Dancing with Marie-Louise Flexen

Join us for a relaxed dance and movement session with local dance artist Marie-Louise Flexen. The session is suitable for all ability levels, with no previous experience required. You’re welcome to take part standing or seated, and to move at your own pace in a supportive, inclusive environment.

We welcome people living with long-term health conditions or dementia. If you have any access needs or there’s anything we can do to support your participation, please let us know in advance.  

Carers and family members are very welcome to attend alongside you. 

While we aim to be as inclusive as possible, we’re not able to provide personal care during sessions. This means we’re unable to assist with eating, toileting, or medication.
