The people of Nailsea are invited to put a spring in their step by participating in a series of ‘Happiness’ workshops taking place at 65 High Street.

Exploring the many things that make people happy in fun, drama-based sessions, the weekly workshops will run regularly throughout April, May, June and July.
From obvious rib-ticklers, such as the timeless art of clowning, to more personal sessions that focus on stories and memories, these workshops will be lively, welcoming and suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
