A summary

Step into Christmas at the Aspire Creative Hub, where every session kicks off with a fun ice breaker and game to get to know everyone. From there, dive into a day of music exploration, try your hand at guitars, keyboards and even digital music gear to create your own beats.

You’ll get to work on your vocals, sing your favourite songs and learn how to DJ like a pro. After all that creative fun, we’ll share a tasty lunch together, followed by more art activities, from painting and drawing to creative games that keep your imagination flowing.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some skills, there’s something here to inspire and challenge you! If you want to focus on one particular activity, that's ok. Or try a variety of different things and discover a new interest for the new year.
