The Goodlife Centre invites you to take a break from the digital world and get hands on with tools and materials in their wonderful workshop.
In this session, you’ll have fun working with wood using modern and traditional hand tools. Hammer nails, saw wood, drill something… and express stress by energy transfer in the doing. Think of these sessions as sensory play for grown-ups, for a small window in your day you can enjoy some light touch destruction/construction, alongside tea and biscuits. You’ll also have the chance to see some of The Goodlife Centre courses in action.
Based in a 1950s factory building in Bankside, The Goodlife Centre offers a range of courses in often forgotten practical skills and crafts from woodworking to tiling, upholstery and drilling. Frustrated desk bound creatives often leave with a sense of wonder, able to hold something they have made.
This event is part of Better You, our wellbeing programme designed to help you kickstart the new year with energy and positivity. January is an ideal time to explore new activities and sharpen your skills, and Better You is here to support you every step of the way. Our range of free activities offers something for everyone, and we’d love for you to join us for other events too!
Our events often fill up quickly, and with nearly 1,000 members, we want everyone to have the chance to join. To make this fair, please book a maximum of three in-person events during Better You.
