Frequently Asked Questions about The Bridge
At The Bridge, we provide a wide range of visual arts based courses to people in and around Darlington. If you'd like to take a look at our current course offering, please visit the Courses section on this site.
You can join a course by completing an online course registration form, or arriving for the first session of a term. Please note that arriving on the day does not guarantee a place, and we'd suggest you contact the tutor prior to attending via the website to be sure.
All of our courses run for 10 week terms which generally coincide with school terms. If you'd like to join a course that's already started, we suggest you make an enquiry via the course page and speak to the tutor directly.
