What is an Imaginarium . . . .
….an Imaginarium is a place devoted to the Imagination.
An Imaginarium is a place dedicated to stimulating and cultivating the imagination, creativity and artistic purposes, a place or centre that encourages creative exploration.
What is our Imaginarium . . . .
….our Imaginarium is defined, by us, as a creative place devoted to bringing out the best in your creative imagination.
Anyone of any age is invited to come and try their hand at our daily drop-in activities, our bookable workshops, or one of our special seasonal creative sessions. In fact we actively encourage everyone to try as many as they can, you never know what you might like until you try it!
If you need some creative inspiration don’t worry we have lots of examples to give you an idea of what you can create, and if you need a litte help then we are on hand too to guide and suggest.
