Courses and Workshops
We deliver a varied range of Adult and Community Learning Courses throughout the year, supported by Isle of Wight Council as well as a selection of family friendly workshops. Courses range from arts and crafts, to music and dance, usually with an outcome that will be shared with the public at one of our events.
All our courses are very friendly and a great way to learn new skills or 2025 those that you already have.
In the Isle of Wight Council’s Adult Community Learning Service’s recent Ofsted report it was noted that: “Carnival Learning programmes reach deep into local communities that often face disadvantage. The learners develop arts and crafts skills alongside useful employability knowledge, such as using social media to promote and sell their work.”
Below you will find all the courses and workshops we have coming up and booking links.
