CULTURE EDITION
EVENING INSPO
Whipple Scribble sessions launch this month at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, giving first-time, hobbyist, student and professional creatives alike the chance to sketch among its collection of telescopes, globes and scientific instruments. Taking place every eight weeks, each relaxed evening sketching session will draw on a fresh theme, inspired by the museum’s artefacts. The first one takes place on 8 May from 5.30 to 7.30pm, with an astronomy theme. All abilities are welcome, and it’s free to take part (donations welcome).

Cambridge Community Arts is hosting a new season of creative courses for adults across Cambridgeshire. A highlight of the new season is Kick-Start Your Novel, a six-week community class for more experienced creative writers, led by published author, editor and writing mentor Lynn Fraser. Designed to help participants take their novel ideas from concept to concrete plan, the course runs on Saturdays from 31 May to 5 July at Mill Road Community Centre in Cambridge. Income from the course directly supports Cambridge Community Arts’ charitable work – including making creativity accessible to adults who face barriers due to health conditions, low income or social exclusion.
