Our Thursday gatherings are evolving into something fresh and exciting. We’re combining the creativity of our regular 3pm art group with the energy of the 6pm disco night to create a new, inclusive evening event. This change means more opportunities for everyone to enjoy art, music, and social connection in one place. Whether you want a calm space to paint or a lively room to dance and sing, our new Art, Disco & Karaoke nights have something for you.

A New Way to Spend Your Thursday Evening

The new format offers two distinct spaces to suit different moods and interests. From 6pm to 7:45pm, the art room will be open for those who prefer a peaceful atmosphere to express their artistic talents. This quiet space is perfect for painting, drawing, or crafting without distractions. It’s a chance to relax, focus, and enjoy creativity at your own pace.

Meanwhile, the main room will host the disco from 6pm until 7:30pm. The music will keep the energy high, and everyone will have the chance to be the DJ by sharing their own playlists. This interactive element lets you bring your favourite tunes and create a fun, personalised dance experience. After the disco, from 7:30pm to 8pm, Trace will take over to host karaoke. This is your moment to shine, sing your heart out, and enjoy the spotlight in a supportive environment.

Why This Change Matters

Bringing these activities together creates a more dynamic and inclusive evening. People with different interests and energy levels can find their place and enjoy the night in a way that suits them best. The separate art room respects those who want calm and focus, while the main room offers excitement and social interaction.

This setup also encourages new friendships and connections. You might start the evening painting quietly and then join the disco or karaoke later. Or you might dance and sing first, then wind down with some art. The choice is yours, and the variety makes Thursdays more engaging and accessible.

What to Expect at the Art Room

A calm, welcoming space with all the art supplies you need
Time to work on your own projects or try new techniques
Friendly support from staff and fellow artists
Opportunities to share your work if you want, or just enjoy the process quietly

This room is designed to be a creative haven. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, you’ll find a supportive environment to explore your artistic side.

What Happens in the Main Room

Disco music playing from 6pm to 7:30pm
A chance to be the DJ and share your favourite songs
A lively, social atmosphere where you can dance or just enjoy the music
Karaoke hosted by Trace from 7:30pm to 8pm, welcoming all levels of singers

The main room is all about fun and connection. You don’t have to be a professional singer or dancer to join in. The goal is to have a good time and support each other’s creativity and confidence.

How to Get Involved

Joining the Art, Disco & Karaoke nights is easy. Just come along on Thursdays at 6pm. You can choose to spend the whole evening in one room or move between the art room and main room as you like. If you want to be a DJ, bring your playlist on a USB or phone. For karaoke, you can sign up on the spot or just jump in when you feel ready.

Support workers are welcome to join and help participants feel comfortable and included. This event is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for people with additional needs, so everyone can find their place.
