Mary Ward is your space to grow and belong – through creativity, movement, and discovery. We’ve been helping Londoners unlock new skills, confidence and connections for over a century. Whether you’re popping in for a weekend workshop or joining us for a weekly session, there’s always something happening – and someone new to meet.
From boosting your wellbeing to trying something you’ve never done before, every time you visit it’s a chance to explore, discover, and be part of a welcoming community.
Looking to pick up a new skill, meet people or just try something different? You’re in the right place. Get stuck in and feel right at home.
At Mary Ward, you’ll find everything from creative workshops and gentle movement sessions to music, IT skills and philosophy – all under one roof. Whether you’re starting from scratch or building on what you already know, we’ve got something for you. And it’s all delivered in a friendly, relaxed space where you’re free to be yourself.
There’s loads going on, in the day, evenings and weekends. Come and explore hands-on creative workshops, movement sessions to boost your wellbeing , and practical skills like computer and IT training . Thought-provoking sessions like philosophy, language classes and current affairs (and lots in between) are also on offer.
Looking for something fun and creative, or developing new skills for work or life, you’ll find it here – and you’ll bump into people just like you. Check out what’s on – our prices are fair, and there’s support if you need it.
Our sessions are run by experienced artists, makers, linguists, thinkers and coaches who know their stuff – and how to make it enjoyable. Think expert tuition without the formality.
Lots of folk tell us they love learning in a group – not just for the skills, but for the laughs, the connections, and that little extra umph it gives your week.
