We have experience working with children and young people who suffer from anxiety, have diagnosed or undiagnosed autism or other neuro divergent conditions.
All Art Clubs are FREE to attend. We request a contribution of £5 per child towards art materials and running costs, but not from those entitled to free school meals and this does not affect your child’s ability to attend.
We have a maximum of 15 places available and are currently fully booked. Please complete the form at urbanwildernesscic.com/artclub to register your interest and we will contact you when a place becomes available. For more information contact info@urbanwildernesscic.com.
Circus in a Box are partnering with Urban Wilderness CIC to provide free stilt walk training for teenagers who are interested in being a part of the Pig Walk Parade at Longton Carnival on Sunday 6th April 2025.
Workshops take place on Wednesday evenings, 7pm - 8:30pm at The Moony Club. Training covers experience on the stilts, the correct use of equipment and the essential role of ‘spotting’ each other.
The stilt walk training is currently fully booked. If you are interesting in provision for teenagers, please contact info@urbanwildernesscic.com
