Woolwich Works have some fantastic events coming up this Spring with Utah Saints from Big Fish Little Fish, to the cult hit show Buffy Revamped and Live at the Works comedy featuring headliner, Paul Chowdry plus much much more.
But it’s not all ticketed events. There are a number of terrific classes and activities each week which you can get involved with. Here are just some of them…
Explore the rich history of the buildings and the Royal Arsenal. Hear the stories of suffragettes and visits from Kings, Queens, and dignitaries from around the world.Since the buildings were renovated 3 years ago they’ve won a RIBA Conservation Award and this tour is a chance to discover how the building has been restored and how it is being used today.
The tours are free and accessible to everyone. You can turn up on the day, but to ensure you are not disappointed we recommend booking a place in advance.
Come along to this practical and instructive five-week course (or drop in to individual weekly classes) and learn to sign greetings, days/months, emotions, food, transport and many more useful phrases and signs. Presented by Sign & Strive, although this is not an accredited course, participants will receive resources and if you are interested in learning Levels 1, 2 and 3 then information on courses available through other providers will be provided.
The course will help to build your confidence in communicating with the deaf community.
