Children's Art Sessions at the Art Hub

Join us from 11:00am – 12:30pm for creative, relaxed art sessions designed for children aged 8+.

These sessions encourage children to try something new, get creative, connect with others, and support their wellbeing in a friendly and welcoming space.

While the sessions are free, we suggest a £5 donation per child to help us continue delivering our charitable activities in the community.

Come along, get creative, and be part of our community!

Have you tried Matcha?
It’s a green tea powder that full of antioxidants and it also has caffeine . We can serve it hot or cold with milk - we recommend coconut milk as it keeps the matcha taste better but if you prefer oat or cow’s milk that’s also available.
City Arts Hub cafe now serves Matcha Latte hot or cold - let us know what you think 😃
We are open Thursday to Sunday 10am to 4pm
