Urban Craft Club starts back!

In Autumn sessions will re-start on Wednesday 6th October, 6-8pm at the Manor Gardens Centre in the 'Activities Room'. It will run every Wednesday at this time and the last session before Christmas will be on Wednesday 22 December. For more information please visit the Urban Craft Club page.

The Urban Craft Club began in October 2009. It offers an opportunity to people (over 19) with some or no skill to learn new techniques in a relaxing, collaborative and informal environment. 

It aims to reach people from a range of backgrounds and experiences, running outreach sessions to community groups and centres as a means to reach people who may not otherwise have considered crafts.

Holloway Arts Festival 2010 took place from 24 June to 4 July and was packed with events celebrating the vibrant and unique cultural life of Holloway.

Holloway Arts Festival was established in 2003. Its mission is to bring a range of high quality arts events to Holloway and the surrounding areas and make them accessible to all. It has gone from strength to strength, attracting a wide range of performers and artists and a growing audience year-on-year.

Through photography and oral history, Making Inroads tells the stories of 40 people from all over the world and the UK who have come to live and work on and around Holloway Road. An exhibition of the photographs is being displayed at St Luke's Centre until the end of 2010.
