BESPOKE PACKAGES

Creating bespoke packages for all kinds of project

Every project is unique and is shaped by its participants and the community around it. Our experienced team of staff and professional tutors can create bespoke packages delivering a range of specialist workshops in a variety of creative disciplines.

We deliver these directly in schools, local communities, partner locations and personal settings such as care homes. Pedestrian’s reputation has been built by its outreach workshops, but also offer our workshop spaces in the heart of Leicester city centre which is available for hire. Delivery can be face to face, online and remote.
