Autumn Term 2019

Thursdays 19 September – 28 November (no session 31 October) 10 weeks 

Venue: Langworthy Cornerstone

Times: 1pm to 3pm

Weekly sessions take place every Thursday from 1 – 3pm at Langworthy Cornerstone in Salford. Workshops are planned and co-run by members of DIY’s Friday Group.

During the Autumn Term our theme will continue to be a “Sense of Adventure!” 

Sessions are free and everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done drama before. You can come, join in, have fun and laughter and make new friends. It helps boost your confidence and put a smile on your face. Buds can also help you to become a better actor and learn new skills. We also sometimes put on shows.
