Young people across East Staffordshire are being invited to get creative this summer thanks to a programme of free workshops at the Brewhouse Arts Centre in Burton.

The activities form part of Staffordshire County Council’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, which provides enriching experiences and healthy meals for eligible children and young people during the school holidays.

Running throughout August, the workshops will give participants the chance to explore a range of artistic skills, from nature-inspired printing and puppetry to theatre-making, zine creation and visual arts. Sessions include Printing “with” Nature on 7 August, Create a Play in a Day on 14 August, DIY Zines on 18 August, Playing with Puppetry on 21 August and Be an Artist for the Day on 26 August.

The programme is designed to encourage creativity, build confidence and help young people develop new skills in a fun and welcoming environment. Activities are available free of charge for eligible children aged between five and 16 who receive benefit-related free school meals, with participants able to book multiple sessions throughout the summer.
