20 March: Art Meditation
6 - 8.30pm

Combining art, meditation and heritage, join us for a guided Art Meditation session set within the inspiring surroundings of the Jurassic Sea Gallery within the museum.

This is not an art class. Instead, it’s an opportunity to explore your creativity in a relaxed, supportive environment and create something that feels personal and meaningful. Take time to pause, enjoy the museum setting, and reconnect with your creative side.

This session is designed for combining mindful awareness with hands-on creative expression.

Feedback from previous participants includes: welcoming, calming, relaxing, lovely, grateful, amazing.

What to expect:

All materials are provided, with a variety of options to choose from and explore.

We begin with a short settling meditation, followed by guided creative time with the materials. A longer meditation then supports deeper reflection and creative flow, giving you the time and space to create your own intuitive piece.

No artistic experience is needed.

Tickets: £15 per person (+booking fee)

"It was brilliant. We love these kinds of events but there aren't many round here."

"I think these informal activities are better, because people who don't have much experience also feel they can join in."
