Community Fridays

Community Fridays are back at The Old School House on Friday 27 November, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This one is part of the Community Mondays & Fridays series run by the Bournemouth Education Arts Foundation (BEAF), a set of weekly gatherings focused on positivity, support and creativity in an inclusive and welcoming space. The session on the 27th features creative workshops led by Claire, so if you've been wanting to make something and didn't know where to start, this is a good place to do it.

The whole thing grew out of the Warm Welcome Spaces BEAF has supported since 2023, and it's built for meeting new friends, relaxing or getting involved in arts and gardening. There's free hot food and tea, free wifi and charging points, so you can just turn up and stay as long as you like. It's not about producing a masterpiece; it's more about the social side of things.

This particular session is part of a 15-week Autumn term that runs from Monday 7 September to Friday 18 December 2026, so if you miss this one, there are plenty more to choose from across the term. The Old School House is on Gladstone Mews, Gladstone Road, Bournemouth, BH7 6BG. Entry is free, and it runs from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
