SPRING TERM 2026 Home Ed Art Sessions MONDAYS Age Concern, Hassocks

from £38.00

A calm, creative space for young artists in Hassocks.

Session times:

  • 9:30–10:30 (older group, ages 11–16)

  • 10:50–11:50 (mixed ages, 8–16)

  • Mondays, term time

  • Location: Age Concern, Dale Avenue, Hassocks BN6 8LW

  • Group size: max 8 young people

  • Price: £19 if booking for the term or £22 per session (PAYG)

What to expect

Our sessions are designed for young people who need a quiet, low-demand environment to enjoy art at their own pace. They work best for those who are anxious, find socialising tricky, struggle with low self-esteem autistic/ADHD and benefit from a calm, structured space keen to build confidence and focus on art in a supportive setting.

The sessions are calm and seated, with individual art materials provided. Regular visits to collect paint and paper are built in, offering both creative choice and a chance for gentle movement. We cannot accommodate children who need a high-energy environment, who find it difficult to remain seated, or who cannot follow the safety expectations of the venue. We share the building with Age Concern, so it is essential that everyone respects the elderly and vulnerable people using the space, this means no running in corridors, no shouting and keeping noise levels low.

Why join?

  • Experiment with different artist quality materials and techniques

  • Enjoy a calm, safe and supported space

  • Build confidence and gently connect with others

  • Learn with professional artists experienced in ADHD, autism, dyslexia and anxiety

  • Develop skills at your own pace

  • Small groups (max 8) with all materials provided

  • Biscuits included!

  • Parents/carers welcome to stay quietly if it helps their child feel settled

Payment options:

  • Pay in full for the term £209 for 11 sessions

  • Pay £38 deposit now and split the balance over three monthly payments of £57 (Jan, Feb & March). We have a NEW subscription option for this. You will be sent a link to sign up to the monthly payments in January. Payments will then be collected automatically each month.

  • Pay as you go spaces are subject to availability and priced at £22

Our venue

We use a quiet, tucked-away room at the back of the Age Concern building in Hassocks. It overlooks a peaceful community garden, the perfect setting for calm creativity.

Who leads the sessions?

Our groups are led by Ginny and Fi, both professional artists with a huge range of experience. They bring an experimental, playful approach to materials while offering excellent technical expertise.

Coming soon: Bronze Arts Award support

For those who’d like to gain a qualification through their creative journey, we will soon be offering support for the Bronze Arts Award.
