Adventurers Bolton: Creative Art Sessions for Children & Families

Join the adventure with We Are Explorers CIC!

This autumn, we’re running a series of free creative workshops for children aged 4–11 and their families at Bolton Central Library. Each week explores a new art form and is led by professional artists in a friendly, inclusive setting.

These sessions are perfect for curious kids and supportive adults who want to try something new, get creative, and spend quality time together.

What to Expect

• Fun, hands-on art activities suitable for children aged 4–11
• Family-friendly environment – parents/carers are encouraged to join in
• Welcoming, LGBTQ+ friendly, and inclusive of neurodivergent children
• Relaxed, drop-in sessions – come when you can, stay as long as you like

When and where do sessions take place?

• Saturdays, 2:30 – 4:30 PM
• 6th September – 18th October 2025
• Children’s Library @ Bolton Central Library
• FREE to attend – no booking required!
