Despite increased mentions of the menopause in the media, there are still very few activities that address the experience itself, in an environment which facilitates creative engagement.

Over the course of five consecutive Fridays, from the 15th of November, the two-hour workshops will provide a free, flexible, and accessible experience for women who are looking for a creative activity that allows them to discuss, reflect and share their individual experiences of the menopause.

• 29 November 10-11.30am

• 6 December 10-11.30am

• 13 December 10-11.30am
