The Landmark Trust, which owns Calverley’s historic Old Hall, has announced a programme of workshops involving nine local artists to mark the launch of the new Community Space there.
The workshops, which will take place between September 2025 and March 2026 will cover a range of creative skills, including Surface Embroidery, Calligraphy & Watercolour, Musical Graphic Scores, Rag Rugging, Life Drawing, Blackwork Stitching, Pressed Flowers & Vintage Materials Collaging, Scent Inspired Natural Inks and Wax Ring Carving.
All workshops can be booked on the Landmark Trust’s website, with most
running on selected Saturdays from 27 September 2025 through to March 2026.
All individually priced, the events cater to a wide variety of creative interests, with many
suitable for young people aged 16+, and some offering a discount on the ticket price for
students, NHS workers and those on limited income or income support.
The workshops are all designed to be beginner-friendly, featuring small groups, and plenty of 1:1 tutor support.
The Old Hall itself will be open to the public as part of the national Heritage Open Weekend on September 13 and 14. Register for free places on the website. There are also festive open days on November 29 and 30.
The Community Space is available for hire, with subsidised pricing and discounts for local groups.
