Across Leeds there are lots of creative groups you can get involved with. It’s a great way to meet new people, relax, learn new skills, and have fun! Some are for people recovering from mental health issues, some are open to everyone, and many of them are free.  Whatever your interest: music, drama, painting, photography, knitting, singing, poetry etc,  there’s a group out there for you!

Click here to download a list of creative groups across Leeds. If you want to feature your group, or you need more information, please contact us.

Details may change so please check with the group organiser to avoid any disappointment. Arts and Minds cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of this information.

We support all these community groups and encorage you to check them out. However where one does not exist, Arts & Minds also runs bespoke groups.
