Activities

We offer a wide range of arts courses for people of all abilities. Classes are held in our purpose-designed studios, all of which are spacious, bright and fully accessible. Led by professional tutors and supported by dedicated volunteers, our classes enable participants to develop new skills at their own pace in a friendly and welcoming environment.

We are able to accommodate all levels of experience throughout our activities and encourage everyone to broaden their creative talents, whatever the starting point. Our classes attract participants of all ages and from a range of backgrounds, offering the chance to make new friends and to become part of a diverse community.

Most courses run over 12 weeks, all payable in advance, although we do arrange payment plans where necessary. We also aim to arrange transport for Barnet residents with reduced mobility when and where possible.

Click on the course tabs to discover more about our classes. These get booked up quickly, so we recommend booking your place well in advance. Booking for our September term opens in July. If you would like to be sent details of our September courses, please e-mail nicola.sim@communityfocus.co.uk or call 020 8369 5483/5484.
