Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre

Set in beautiful surroundings at the heart of Knaresborough, Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre offers fully accessible facilities & activities to inspire you.

As well as being a hub for the arts community, holding regular events and supporting local crafters, we provide vocational training for people with disabilities. We support people to reach their true potential by giving them real work experience through our social enterprise. Every week, over 150 Art Makers take part in a range of workshops, including employability training, health and wellbeing, arts and crafts and multi-sensory.

We are also open to the public and have a range of accessible facilities:
- fully licensed café
- shop selling original artwork
- open studios
- art workshops
- children's play area
- woodland walk and gardens

We hold regular events such as exhibitions, live music, theatre and craft fairs and we’d love to welcome you to the Centre to see what we can offer you.
