Learning is not only for school children and young folks. Street Style Surgery believes in lifelong learning and offers training for the over 50s through various workshops.

We offer creative activities for over 50s that will teach new skills, reignite old abilities and provide a grand time all in all. Workshops can include lessons in digital technology or just a fun afternoon of drama and performance.
