The Habbit Factory offers inclusive performing arts classes for children and young people aged 4 and above. We welcome new members across three age groups:
- Infant: School years 1 to 2
- Junior: School years 3 to 6
- Senior: School years 7 to 13
Our classes are completely fee-free and open to everyone, with no obligation to pay. We do suggest a voluntary monthly donation of £15 to help support our work, but there is no requirement or proof needed for any contribution. Around 40% of our annual income comes from generous donations, helping us keep our classes accessible to all.
