What to Expect

Northlight Leed’s community sessions are informal, friendly and participant-led. There is no pressure to produce finished work and no previous experience is required.

Some people arrive with a project in mind, while others simply come along to see where the session takes them. You’ll find materials to explore from our Northlight Community Art Trolley, opportunities to discover new techniques and plenty of encouragement from staff, volunteers and the other people taking part.
Whether you are feeling confident or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years, you are welcome to join in at whatever level feels right for you.

Tea, coffee, cakes and snacks are available from the café within Chapel Allerton Arts Centre.
No booking is required for our regular community sessions — just drop in.

If you have any additional access requirements, please contact Northlight beforehand and we’ll do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
