The Blank Page Project

Get involved in free creative activities for 10-16 year olds taking place at our libraries throughout school holidays.

About The Blank Page Project

The Blank Page Project is an exciting new programme providing free high-quality creative activities run by local artists in libraries during the school holidays!

Blank Page activities give 10-16 year olds the chance to express their creativity through a range of mediums. Each activity day will run from 10AM to 3PM and will include a free lunch.

You can book onto as many workshops as you'd like. All workshops are designed to offer something different.
