Saturday Clubs
Activate Learning are thrilled to be launching a NEW National Art & Design Saturday Club this year at Bracknell and Wokingham College, starting in November 2026. Delivered on Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm by the Createch Faculty at Activate Learning, this course creates an inspiring new creative opportunity for young people in our community.
This FREE course is aimed at 13–16 year olds who have a passion for art, design and creativity and who are curious to explore these subjects further. Delivered by an expert tutor, the club offers learners the chance to develop creative skills, experiment with a range of materials and techniques and gain insight into creative industries and future pathways.
Hosted in our bespoke facilities, students will benefit from access to specialist creative spaces, professional equipment and expert guidance from an experienced tutor. Sessions are hands on, engaging and designed to inspire confidence, creativity and collaboration.
The National Art & Design Saturday Club is a fantastic opportunity for young people to explore their creativity in a supportive environment, and best of all, it’s completely free to attend.
