Viables Community Centre has continued to thrive since it reopened last year. The North Hampshire Orchid Society held its annual show with us in February and we’ve hosted a Wedding Fayre as well. Over half term, the mayor again visited us for our first ‘Art Attack’, a family craft week.

With thanks to sponsorship from Bellway Homes, we are planning to hold these art and craft classes each half term and holiday (except Christmas). The next programme will run from 27th – 30th May, mornings 10am to midday. Run by artists, the sessions are open to all students from reception class to college. Parents are expected to stay and work with primary age students – and we regret that the activities are unsuitable for children not yet at primary school. Cost is £3 per person per session.
