Artventurers Family Class: Halloween ARTy Party

Artventurers are running a Saturday family class at St Barbara's Church Hall in Earlsdon, with the first session on 31 October. It's an award-winning setup built around a safe, secure and social environment where young artists can create and explore alongside their grown-ups. The classes are suitable for children from six months to eight years, and the Earlsdon date is one of several venues across Coventry where the sessions run.

There are three dates in the run, each with its own theme. The first is on 31 October, a Halloween ARTy Party that lands right on the day. After that, the 28 November session is based on Little Miss and Mr Men, and the 12 December one is The Polar Express, which puts it just before Christmas. If you've got a little one at the younger end of the age range, the Halloween one is a good way to get them involved in the season without it being too much.

Because it's a family class, you're there with your child rather than dropping them off. That's part of the appeal—you get to see what they're making as it happens, and the social side means you'll likely bump into other parents and kids from around the neighbourhood. It's a chance to let them get stuck in with art in a space that's set up for it, rather than trying to manage the mess on your own kitchen table.

All three sessions run from 11:30 to 12:30 on Saturdays: 31 October, 28 November and 12 December. They're held at St Barbara's Church Hall, Earlsdon, Coventry, CV5 6AG.
