I know how exhausting it can be to constantly carry the weight of everything while your own need for a break gets pushed to the very bottom of the list — managing work stress, keeping up with family, and trying to hold it all together. Stopping to rest doesn't just feel hard; it feels impossible.

That is why I have created these restorative yoga workshops to support us through the autumn and winter seasons. This is your invitation to turn inward, embrace a slower pace, and gift your body the deep rest it deserves.

Restorative yoga is a deeply soothing practice that uses props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to fully support the body, allowing your muscles to release and your nervous system to enter a state of deep nourishment, rest, and relaxation.

All workshops are kept small and intimate to allow for greater personal attention.

These workshops are held at The Didsbury Parsonage, a beautiful Grade II listed building set in a magical secret garden.

⭐ Relaxing on the Earth: Yoga Workshop ⭐
Saturday 17th October 10am – 1pm
The Didsbury Parsonage, Stenner Lane, Didsbury, M20 2RQ

Full workshop price is £45 / £40 non-refundable and non-transferable.
(Concessions apply to students, the unemployed, OAP’s)

What started as a chance conversation on a train in 1876 has grown into a rich, 150-year artistic legacy. Founded as the first amateur art club in the North West, the Manchester Graphic Club has flourished through the decades - even counting legendary local artists like L.S. Lowry and Emmanuel Levy among its past honorary members.

Though venues and names have shifted over the years, the heart of the club remains the same. Today, this enthusiastic collective of amateur artists meets monthly at the historic Didsbury Parsonage for life drawing sessions.

Beyond life studies, members work across oils, pastels, watercolours, and pencil to capture landscapes, portraits, and buildings. With a fresh influx of new members and ideas, the club is looking forward to the next chapter of local art making history.

Growing up in Bolton in the 1960s, James always held a deep passion for art. Though life, work, and family temporarily took him in other directions, his love for painting never faded. Six years ago, he returned to the canvas with renewed focus.

Now based in Didsbury, James creates expressive mixed-media landscapes inspired by the familiar streets of Manchester and regular travels to Dublin and the west of Ireland. His work beautifully captures the dramatic coastlines, shifting weather, and rich colours of the Irish landscape. Following his selection as a wildcard contestant on Landscape Artist of the Year in 2024, James gained the confidence to begin exhibiting his work.

This collection highlights a beautiful contrast in pace and technique. From fast, vibrant pastel pieces completed in a few days to large, atmospheric oil paintings that take up to four weeks to perfect, the exhibition offers viewers a dynamic range of textures, moods, and artistic approaches.
