Thank you to all that came along and took part. Absolutely stunning pieces of art created all round.

If anyone would like to take part in any of the upcoming sessions over next few weeks there are still spaces to book via the website!

Hope to see you there.

🐇Easter Crafts at the Library 🐇

Looking for a fun, affordable way to keep the kids entertained this Easter? We're hosting 4 Easter sessions across Marsh Green and Lamberhead Libraries designed to let their creativity bloom.

Whether they love getting messy with glue or prefer picking up a paintbrush, we will have a couple of different craft options available on the day for every little artist.

All materials will be provided and one of our fantastic hosts will be on hand to help throughout the session, meaning you can sit and supervise whilst your children are busy creating. Your children can connect with others in the area and together we can help make some suggestions to the library for what you'd like to see in the areas.

Session details

Spaces are £5 per child and must be booked in advance to secure your spot. Please ensure children are wearing suitable clothing, although we bring aprons we cannot guarantee they won't get messy!

At Marsh Green Library (Friday, 27th March):

Session 1: 2:30 PM – 3:30PM

Session 2: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM

At Lamberhead Library (Saturday, 4th April)

Session 3: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Session 4: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

✨ Women’s Health Community Project – Creative Sessions for Women

UPDATE✨: Vision board session date, time and location has now been updated. You are now able to book your ticket via our website!

Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity CIC is hosting a small series of relaxed creative sessions across Wigan. These are calm, welcoming spaces where women can slow down, try a creative activity and spend time together.

Each session explores a different craft. No experience is needed and all materials are provided.

These sessions are also part of a community project exploring women’s experiences of gynaecological health services, including menopause, menstrual health and accessing support. Through creative activities and informal conversation, we hope to better understand the challenges women can face when seeking help and how services could improve.

There is no expectation to share anything personal. You’re welcome to simply enjoy the creative activity.

To help us hear from a range of women, we ask that you book onto one session only.

A £3 booking fee helps secure spaces and reduce no-shows so places can be used by those who would like to attend.

We are running the following sessions:
🐝 Bee Needle Felting
Craft Hive - Tudor House, Hindley
30 March | 11am – 1pm
12 spaces available

🎨 Painting Canvas – Empowered Woman
Lady Mabel's at The Cherry Gardens

Spring Coasters

Come and spend a cosy, creative evening painting these colourful Spring ceramic coasters. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure session where you can switch off, have a natter and enjoy doing something just for you.

You’ll be painting two ceramic coasters to take home. You can paint them freehand if you fancy it, or you’ll be given transfers or stencils to use if you’d like, so there’s absolutely no stress about getting things “right”. This one’s about enjoying the process, not perfection.

The session will be gently guided by Becky, who’ll be there to help you along, answer questions and make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. You don’t need any experience at all, just turn up as you are.

What you’ll get:
Two ceramic coasters to paint and keep
Transfers available if you want them
All materials included
A friendly, relaxed space with plenty of encouragement

The details
📍 Plough & Harrow, Shevington
🗓 19th March 2026
⏰ 6pm – 8pm
💷 £16 per person

Perfect for a midweek switch-off, a catch-up with a friend, or a bit of calm creative time to yourself. You’ll head home with something handmade, colourful and very you.

This was originally advertised as a highland cow coaster session but due to feedback has been opened up to a more general session, highland cow templates will still be available for those wanting to do highland cows!

Last year my daughter Maisie had a simple idea…
“What if we had a picnic in the park so everyone could come together?”

So we did. And it turned into a really lovely day at Ashfield Park. Families with blankets, kids playing, crafts, chats with neighbours… just proper community.

This year we’re bringing it back as Picnic, Paint & Play and Aurora wants to get involved too 💛

The plan is a free day for families with crafts, face painting, bubbles, outdoor games and space to just enjoy the park together.

We’ve set up a small fundraiser to help cover things like craft materials, snacks, activities for the kids and hiring a port-a-loo (something we definitely learned we needed after last year 😅).

If anyone would like to donate, share the fundraiser, volunteer on the day, or if any local businesses want to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

Every little bit helps make the day happen.

More info / donate here:

And if you can’t donate, a share helps massively 💛

What a wonderful Thursday we had! Our "Paint Your Mum" session was something truly special. The room was buzzing with creativity, and it was so heartwarming to see everyone bringing their masterpieces to life.

We saw some absolutely beautiful creations—from bold, bright abstracts to delicate portraits. It was a joy to see all the vibrant colours chosen to represent the personalities of all the wonderful mummies out there. 🌈✨

While we celebrate these memories, we also want to acknowledge that Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for many. Whether you are celebrating, remembering, or finding your way through the day, please know we are thinking of you and our inbox is always open.

We wish everyone in our LSoC community a peaceful and Happy Mother’s Day. 🌸
