Over 160 children took part last year!

Devizes Lions believe the arts should be accessible to everyone and would like to offer our local primary school children the chance to try something new. This is the opportunity for children to have fun, doing something different.

You never know, you might find your new favourite hobby!

Devizes Lions are delighted to invite children in school year groups 4, 5, & 6, to try one of a number of artistic activities that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience, under the tuition of skilled coaches. Sessions will last between 90 mins and 120 mins. Please note: Some arts include a performance for the parents, which takes place 15 mins before the end of the session.

Lions will be visiting local schools between 14th and 25th September to tell the children all about the day — but you don’t need to wait until then to secure a place.

In case you miss the presentation, you can view or download a copy from this link: AC26_Presentation.pdf

Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.

How to apply
Applications cost £9.00 per child*.

Tickets will be available to purchase online using TicketSource from Tuesday 1st September 2026 at 9:00am untl Sunday 04 October when bookings close.

Please apply by following this link: TicketSource

Please note that TicketSource charges a small admin fee for each application.

Please make a separate payment for each child.

Please choose three artistic activities in order of preference. We will try to accommodate your first choice but if there are too many applications for the same art, another of the chosen arts may be allocated.

Devizes Lions will advise you via email of the Art allocated together with the Venue and Sessions Times, approximately 2 weeks before the event.
