Waltham Forest ‘Make it Happen’ 2022

We have been successful in the Waltham Forest 'Make it Happen' programme, which celebrates arts and culture projects, with our proposal to offer Classical workshops for younger children in Fellowship Square (Walthamstow) this summer! We were lucky enough to meet with the other winners over Easter and see all the other inspirational projects which celebrate creative dynamism and diversity.

Our workshops will be on Greek drama, Roman mosaic making, an introduction to Latin, and writing your own name in ancient Greek. All children will leave with a take-home activity pack.

Dates are Monday 22nd August to Thursday 25th August inclusive. Please ensure that you book a ticket on Eventbrite via the links below.
