Every Saturday during Exhibitions, 1pm - 3pm

Saturday Gallery Art Club is your opportunity to get creative, explore art hands-on, and take inspiration from our latest exhibitions to create your own work. Open to everyone, each session is supported by our friendly Learning Team as they hold the space for you to work independently or with your friends and family.

Friday 12 December, 7:30pm - 8:30pm

So come join Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Adam Riches, (Cats Does Countdown), as he hits the road once more with his (k)night of chaotic buffoonery, to give you bastards a Christmas present you’ll never forget.

Thursdays & Sundays, January - April 2026

The club aims to increase opportunities for developing your performance skills, support nervous players to play in a friendly and relaxed setting, encourage alternative styles of performance and simply share and spread the love of piano playing to form a growing community in Leicester.
