As part of our Creative Seasons 2025 series of seasonal workshops for Cultural Companions, we invite you to join us in celebrating Samhain, the Celtic quarter festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. Traditionally a time of reflection, remembrance, and storytelling, Samhain invites us to pause, honour memory, and welcome new beginnings.
This third and final series of Cultural Companions Creative Seasons workshops for 2025, offers opportunities to gather, create, and reflect together through working with clay, writing, and shared story. Whether you’re drawn to creativity, heritage, or simply the warmth of company, there’s something here for you.
Highlights of our Samhain Programme:
