Please do not arrive any earlier than 5 minutes before the session starts.

Limited parking at venue but nearby on street parking. The 501 bus runs past the centre.

The date is:

Wednesday 28th October 2026, 1pm- 2.15pm

The address is;

Breakdown Bolton

at St Peters Parish Hall

Church Road

Bolton

All supplies will be provided. Hot drinks will be provided.

Enrolment: This course is funded by The National Lottery Awards for All and is for anyone aged 18+, living in Greater Manchester with lived experience of mental illness. The course itself is not about mental health but to support people living with these things, through creativity, to pursue their artistic interests and talents.

Please let us know if you cannot attend a session with at least 24 hours notice so we can make the most of each place. Please only book if you can attend every session, if not speak to a member of the Breakdown Bolton team.

If the event is full, please join the waiting list as a place could be come available at any point.

Unfortunately, the rising cost of living, we will be asking for a £1 donation for each session. By making these sessions just £1 a session will help to keep Breakdown Bolton running. We are asking for a £1 deposit at the time of booking on and then the other £3 to be paid at the first session where possible.

Please use code PAYONDOOR where possible and if you wish to use cash (no fees for us).

We appreciate that this may not be affordable to everyone so if this is a problem please e-mail breakdownbolton@outlook.com and we can see what we can do.

Thank you for your understanding.
