The groups run between September and June each year, they take a break over the summer. They meet monthly one Saturday a month for up to two hours, some in the mornings and some in the afternoons. Groups are divided roughly into ages 8 – 11, and 12 – 16. There is a charge of £6 per session which is paid on the day of each session and bursaries are available.

They usually meet in an arts or cultural space (theatres, art galleries, museums, libraries, etc.).
